Freeze screen in Automatic mode
During the preprogrammed procedure, the system provides information regarding
treatment progress:
•
The left side of the screen displays the Current Step (freeze, THAW, or
EXTRACTION cycle) and time left for this cycle.
•
The right side of the screen displays information concerning the overall Protocol,
including total protocol time, time elapsed, protocol format, and changes you
have made, if any, to the preprogrammed protocol.
5.3.5
THAW
During THAW, the ice ball melts partially or totally depending on the THAW time and the
tissue properties.
It is clinically important to have a THAW cycle between two freeze cycles and to keep the
probe location steady in the target tissue during all of the THAW period. Monitor the
process under Ultrasound or any other imaging system.
5.3.6
EXTRACTION process
The EXTRACTION step occurs at the end of every treatment. Its purpose is to allow the
cryoprobe
’s
removal from the target tissue in the fastest and safest way.
The EXTRACTION step occurs at the end of every treatment, when you use the automatic
mode. Its purpose is to allow the cryoprobe’s removal from the target tissue in the
fastest and safest way.
In order to be able to get the EXTRACTION option, the freeze time should have been at
least 2 minutes.
