Figure 7. Gas Cylinder Set-up
1 Gauge assembly adapter
8� Carefully turn the cylinder valve on the helium gas cylinder counter-clockwise for one quarter turn� Ensure that
the pressure reading on the gauge responds immediately� Turn the cylinder valve further counter-clockwise
(approximately one full turn) to fully open the gas cylinder so that sufficient gas flow is present�
9� Repeat the procedure outlined in Steps 4 through 8 to connect the argon gas cylinder to the Visual-ICE
Cryoablation System, using the argon gas supply line�
If no argon pressure is displayed on the system pressure gauge, ensure the Argon Shutoff Valve is in the Argon ON
position�
OPTIONAL:
The EZ-Connect2 Dual Cylinder Adapter connects two cylinders of argon gas to the Visual ICE Cryoablation System to
support a cryoablation procedure� A four-way adapter assembly with argon pressure gauge connects a gas supply
line, the primary gas cylinder, and an auxiliary gas supply line�
If using the optional EZ-Connect2 Dual Cylinder Adapter, connect the gas supply line with four-way pressure gauge
adapter assembly to the primary argon cylinder by securing the gauge assembly adapter onto the cylinder connection�
• Connect the end of the gas supply line to the argon inlet of the Visual-ICE Cryoablation System using the quick-
connect connector�
• Connect the auxiliary gas supply line to the four-way adapter assembly using the quick-connect connector
located on the end of the auxiliary gas supply line�
• Connect the opposite end of the auxiliary gas supply line to the second argon cylinder by securing the end of
the auxiliary line to the cylinder connection�
• Open the primary cylinder valve first and use this cylinder until depleted� Do not open the cylinder valve on the
second cylinder until the initial cylinder has been depleted�
• Reference the Changing Gas Cylinders during a Procedure Section for instructions on changing the gas
cylinder during a procedure, if the second cylinder is also depleted during the procedure�
