IMPORTANT NOTICE
• Always gently manipulate all components of CryoPen/CryoProbe instruments.
Never use more than gentle hand force. Never use pliers or other tools to manipulate the instrument.
• Please ensure to only use the filter/opener supplied with the N
Any other filter/opener would damage the instrument.
• Incorrect placement of the filter/opener device into the loading cavity will cause irreversible damage
to the instrument.
• Residual foreign matters in the loading cavity while placing a new filter/opener can cause instrument failure.
• When loaded, the instrument is under high pressure.
Any change to the construction of the instrument may causea potential risk.
• Never put your hand on the opening while removing the cartridge!
• All external parts can be wiped with a cloth soaked in any noncorrosive disinfecting solution.
Never immerse the entire instrument in a disinfecting solution. Only the applicators can be autoclaved.
• The applicators and the cartridges must be kept away from dust and high temperatures.
Leave the cap on when not in use.
• The CryoPen/CryoProbe should be handled with care. When storing the instrument with a loaded cartridge
in its case, position the CryoPen/CryoProbe in such a way that the trigger switch cannot be depressed when
closing the lid of the case. This would cause undesired gas flow.
• CryoPen/CryoProbe instruments are intended for professional use only.
• The N
O cartridges contain both a liquid and a gaseous phase in balance.

The proportion of each phase depends on the room temperature which affects the output flow.
The best performances are archieved when the cartridge temperature is between 19°C and 22°C
(66°F and 72°F). Lower and higher temperatures will give different values in respect of pressure
and the density of the cryogen. Over 25°C/77°F, the quantity of liquefied N
jet will decrease.
• Empty cartridges should be discarded as metal scrap.
