Preparing the patient for procedure
1.
Always position the patient in a comfortable way.
2.
If you use a Hose-holder, position patient comfortably on the holder base so that
the target area is easily accessible and trajectory of the probe is safe (make sure
that Holder adjustable arm is not in the way of the user). For example: in the
treatment of Breast tumor it is desirable that the probe will be placed parallel to
the chest wall.
3.
Measure the lesion with an imaging device in all dimensions prior to procedure to
determine long axis and point of entry.
4.
See Figure below for a schematic illustration of the placement of the system and
the patient in the treatment room.

Warning
The handle and hose portions of the
ProSense™
cryoablation system
may
become cold during the cryoablation procedure. Operators should consider
insulating these parts in order to prevent discomfort to the patient.
Warning
For patients with breast implants, you must document that adequate distance
exists between the lesion and the implant to ensure that the ablated lesion
will not contact or jeopardize the implant, and there is enough space to create
the required margins.
