6.1
Checking the product
1. Check the product (including connection hose, probe cou-
pling and O-rings) for damage.
If damaged, do not use this product!
In particular, do not use a product with an application element
that is kinked, crimped or has surface damage.
6.2
Connecting the product
1. Unscrew the protective cap from the probe coupling.
2. Screw the cryoprobe to the cryosurgery unit via the connect-
ing adapter (Art. No. 20416-034).
6.3
Checking function and seal
Perform the check in a well-lit location.
1. Immerse the cryotip to a depth of at least 5 cm in sterile
warm water at a temperature of approx. 20 °C (alternatively:
isotonic NaCl solution).
2. If small bubbles develop during immersion: Diffuse the bub-
bles by briskly moving the cryotip back and forth in the water.
3. Activate the freeze function of the cryosurgical unit for ap-
prox. 5 seconds.
A clearly visible, homogenous ball of ice must form at the cryotip
when freezing capacity is sufficient. Gas bubbles must not es-
cape under any circumstances.
