Prior to starting a cryoablation procedure, set up the Visual-ICE Cryoablation System, connect the gas cylinders,
and conduct functionality tests on each cryoablation needle and thermal sensor (reference the Pre-Procedure
Testing Section)�
System Set-up
1� Position the Visual-ICE Cryoablation System alongside the patient table� Ensure that the needle gas tubing has
sufficient length to reach the patient� Ensure that the power switch and the power control knob (Figure 1 and
Figure 2) are both easily accessible�
NOTE: Allocate space with adequate ventilation and free airflow� In order to guarantee proper ventilation, always
keep the sides of the Console at least 0�5 m (20 in) from walls or other obstructions to airflow�
2� Lock the two front wheels using the Brake Pedal on the Visual-ICE Cryoablation System� If necessary, lock the
two rear wheels using the individual brakes on each wheel�
3� Plug the power cord into a hospital grade power outlet (electrical mains outlet) with a ground connection�
Boston Scientific recommends using a stable and uninterruptable power outlet�
NOTE: If the power supply to the Visual-ICE Cryoablation System is not stable or is noisy, the MTS temperature
readings may be inaccurate�
WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a hospital grade
electrical power outlet with a protective earth.
WARNING: Do not touch the chassis of the Visual-ICE Cryoablation System while touching the patient to
avoid the potential risk of shocking the patient if an inadvertent electrical fault exists.
OPTIONAL: When performing a prostate cryoablation procedure, set up a urethral warmer system by following
directions provided in the Urethral Warming Set Instructions for Use�
4� Ensure that the power switch located on the rear of the system is in the ON position (Figure 2)� This power
switch should remain ON at all times� The Visual-ICE Cryoablation System will not turn ON if this power switch is
in the OFF position�
5� Confirm that the Argon Shutoff Valve on the Visual-ICE Cryoablation System is in the Argon ON position� Turn it
to the Argon ON position, if needed�
6� Confirm the Manual Vent Valve is fully closed (Figure 2)� If needed, turn the knob clockwise until it is fully closed�
7� Raise the monitor to the UP position and adjust it to a comfortable viewing angle�
CAUTION: Use care when swiveling the touch screen monitor to avoid the potential for pinching fingers�
8� Turn the system ON using the power control knob located near the Needle Connection Panel (Figure 4)� During
boot-up, the system performs several diagnostic tests to verify that the hardware and software are operating
properly� The system may produce a series of clicking sounds when the system performs self-diagnostic tests�
This boot-up process is completed in approximately 45 seconds�
NOTE: If the system was improperly shutdown after the previous procedure, the boot-up process could take up to
2 minutes�
NOTE: It is important to power up the system prior to connecting the gas to the system� If the system is not
powered up prior to connecting the gas, the diagnostic tests will not be performed by the software�
