sleeve. Always pull away the insulating sleeve
prior to bending the ablation segment.
3. The length of the probe's freeze zone is variable,
depending on the placement of the insulated
sleeve. Adjust the length of the freeze zone by
manually moving the insulated sleeve up and
down the shaft to expose more or less of the
freeze zone.
4. Prior to ablating tissue, set the desired time and
temperature for the ablation on the control panel.
5. Place the probe onto the tissue to be ablated
and ensure that adjacent and sub adjacent
tissue is protected to avoid inadvertent freezing.

1. A freeze is initiated by pressing the green Start
Freeze button on the control panel and holding
for approximately 2 seconds.
2. Freezing ends automatically at the end of the
preset freeze duration.
3. Freezing can be terminated prior to the preset
time by pressing the red Stop Freeze button on
the control panel for approximately 2 seconds.
4. The freeze duration depends on the clinical
