Connection of Cylinder
1
Secure cryogen cylinder correctly in the
upright position.
2
Connect the high pressure hose to the cylinder using
the relevant adaptor.
3
Open cylinder valve (using the spanner provided).
4
Any noise of escaping gas indicates that the cylinder
has not been connected correctly – turn off the gas
valve and check connections.
Removal/Disconnection of Cylinders
1
Ensure that cylinder valve is closed.
2
Disconnect the adaptor from the cylinder.
3
Replace cylinder with a fresh one.
The cylinders must be medical grade vapour withdrawal types to
ensure that liquid cryogen is not delivered to the system.
Cryogen gas cylinders used must meet national regulations and be in
accordance with ISO/R 32 and ANSI/NFPA 99 (USA).
Ensure there is enough gas in the Cylinder prior to starting the
procedure. The console Cylinder Symbol indicates empty when the gas
supply pressure drops below
350 PSI/24 Bar (2415 kPa) and the gas cylinder should be replaced at or
before this point. After this the system will continue to function in the
usual way, however freeze performance will be reduced.
Information regarding the correct storage and handling of gas
cylinders should be obtained from the gas supplier.
Electrical Supply
The Cryomatic system requires connection to a mains electrical supply
for operation.
1
Connect the system to a suitable mains supply using
the mains cord that has been supplied.
2
Switch on power via the rocker switch at the side of
the system.
3
The cylinder symbol is activated while the Cryomatic
system prepares itself.
4
The equipment is now ready for use.
