Post-operational stages
5.4.1
Removing the temperature sensor from tissue
At the end of the cryotherapy procedure the temperature sensor should be removed
from the tissue by carefully pulling on it. The extraction should be done only after a
passive THAW of a few minutes, since the temperature sensor can be surrounded by ice.
Removing it too quickly before Thawing can damage the target tissue.
Warning
Before removing the temperature sensor from the tissue, make sure the
freeze effect has been deactivated and the sensor can be easily withdrawn.
Never use excessive force to extract the temperature sensor.
5.4.2
Removing the cryoprobe from the cryohandle
When a Hose-holder is used during the procedure, safely disengage the hose from the
Holder device.
After removing the cryoprobe from the target tissue, and the message that it is safe to
disengage the probe is displayed, detach the cryoprobe from the cryohandle as follows:
1.
Unscrew the used cryoprobe from the cryohandle and dispose of it appropriately.
2.
Remove the single-use sterile cover from the cryohandle.
3.
Close the cryohandle with the covering plug.
