4� Close the Manual Vent Valve�
5� Connect the auxiliary gas supply line to the EZ-Connect2 Dual Cylinder Adapter using the quick-connect connectors�
6� Connect the opposite end of the auxiliary gas supply line to the new cylinder�
7� Carefully turn the cylinder valve on the new gas cylinder counterclockwise for one quarter turn� Ensure that the
pressure reading on the gauge responds immediately� Turn the cylinder valve further counterclockwise to open
the gas cylinder so that sufficient gas flow is present�
Advanced Thaw Controls
The Visual-ICE Cryoablation System provides options to select helium-free thawing (i-Thaw Function and FastThaw
Function) and to conduct track ablation (cautery)�
NOTE: i-Thaw Function, FastThaw Function and cautery functions are only available when needles with that
capability are connected�
NOTE: Argon gas only must be connected to access these functions� Connecting helium gas to the Visual-ICE
Cryoablation System disables these functions�
i-Thaw Function and FastThaw Function Control for CX-type Needles
CAUTION: Active thawing produces heat along the distal needle shaft� Use care to avoid thermal injury to non-
targeted tissues�
WARNING: The needle handle may become warm during active thawing� Pay attention to the needle handle
position� Prolonged contact with warm portions of the needle handle could cause unintended thermal tissue
damage/burn to the patient or clinician�
1� Press and hold the Thaw button to access Advanced Thaw Controls (Screen 33)� The Advanced Thaw Controls
menu provides access to i-Thaw Function / FastThaw Function and cautery functions�
• When i-Thaw Function is operational, pressing the Change to FastThaw Function button in the Advanced
Thaw Controls will change the thaw from i-Thaw Function to FastThaw Function (Screen 33)�
