These instructions cover day-to-day operation of the system.
Other operations, such as maintenance and repair, should only be
carried out by fully trained personnel who are employed by, or
authorized by, the supplier.
Initialisation
Before using the Cryomatic system, make sure it has been correctly
installed in accordance with Section 4.
1
Ensure that the equipment is switched on using the
mains inlet rocker switch.
2
An activity bar within the Cylinder Symbol indicates
that the gas supply is being checked.
3
When the initialisation checks are complete verify that
there is adequate cryogen gas supply - this is indicated
by the Cylinder Symbol on the front panel display.
4
The equipment is now at REST. The Cryo-Tip Probe can
now be connected.
Cryo-Tip Probe Connection
Observe sterilization protocol before using a Cryo-Tip probe.
Allow Cryo-Tip probe to cool to room temperature after a sterilization
procedure.
Before connecting the Cryo-Tip probe inspect it for signs of obvious
damage.
1
Connect the Cryo-Tip probe to the console by aligning
the coupling on the spigots and pushing to a positive
click. (It is impossible to connect the coupling the
wrong way round – correct orientation is with the
release button uppermost). When the probe is
properly connected the relevant Probe Symbol is
displayed together with the probe serial number.
2
The system automatically initiates a purging cycle
of 90 seconds. During the purge cycle an animated
Wait Symbol is displayed alongside the Probe Symbol.
3
Three short beeps signal that the purge cycle is
complete. The equipment is now ready for use as
indicated by the timer and the Ready Symbol.
While the probe is purging all footswitch operations are disallowed
to ensure that the Cryo-Tip probe has completed the minimum purge
cycle.
