During the Needle Integrity and Functionality Test, the Gas Indicators for both gases provide estimates of the time
remaining before depletion of the cylinders assuming that all connected needles are operated simultaneously
(reference the Navigation Tool Bar Section)�
Upon successful completion of the Needle Integrity and Functionality Test, the Test button displays a green check and
remaining control buttons on the channel become active� The needle(s) are ready for use�
12� When using MTSs, prepare the desired number of sensors for testing� The Visual-ICE Cryoablation System
supports use of four thermal sensors� Connect each thermal sensor to an MTS connection port by pushing the
connector into the port� Ensure that the rectangular tongue on the MTS connector is aligned with the groove at
the top of the connection port for proper MTS insertion (Figure 10)�
Figure 10. MTS Connection
13� Confirm MTS functionality by verifying that the connected sensor produces a reasonable onscreen temperature
reading (e�g�, close to room temperature) in the Temperature Sensor Section of the software screen�
WARNING: Do not use an MTS that has failed the MTS Integrity and Functionality Test; erroneous temperature
measurements may be displayed�
CAUTION: Do not allow the MTS to touch the cryoablation needle during use; erratic temperature measurements
may be displayed�
Navigating The User Interface
Throughout the User Manual typeset conventions represent various user interface sections, software buttons,
positions, and steps�
• Software Screen section
• Control button
• ON position
• OPTIONAL = optional or alternate step
The Visual-ICE Cryoablation System provides a graphical user interface that facilitates rapid communication between
the user and the system through a touch screen interface�
Login Screen
When the system is powered on, the Login Screen appears after the boot-up process is complete (reference the
System Set-up Section)�
