Automatic Vent
• Gas was not appropriately vented from the Visual-ICE
Cryoablation System when the system was last used
• Vent the system, using either the automatic vent
option or the Manual Vent Valve
30-02
Gas Vent
• Manually vent the Visual-ICE Cryoablation System
using the valve on the rear of the machine

Low Gas Level
• Low level of [helium / argon] gas remains in the
cylinder
• Replace the gas cylinder as soon as feasible with a
new cylinder
NEEDLES
Message
40-01
Unsupported Needle
• The connected needle is not supported by the software
• Choose and connect a different needle type
40-03
Recalled Needle
• This needle lot number is identified as part of a recall
and is unavailable for use
• Return the needle to Boston Scientific
• Connect a needle from a different lot number to
continue the procedure
40-04
Expired Needle
• The needle 'Use by' date is in the past
• Replace with a new needle
40-05
Used Needle
• This needle has been previously used
•Replace with a new needle
40-06
Corrupt Memory
• Needle Memory chip is corrupt on Channel X
• Manually select the needle type
40-07
Passive Thaw Required
• The currently selected needle on channel [x] does not
have i-Thaw Function capability
• Since helium is not connected, passive thaw is required
on this channel
40-08
i-Thaw Error
• Channel [Xa or Xb] i-Thaw Function capable needle is
defective for electrical thawing
• Use passive thaw or connect helium gas
Black (K) ∆E ≤5.0
Reason for Appearance / Solutions
Upon startup, there was gas pressure remaining in the
system which will make it difficult to connect needles�
User pressed Close button after receiving message
that gas had not been appropriately vented when
the system was last used� To clear the remaining gas
pressure, user must manually vent the gas using the
Manual Vent Valve�
The system displayed an alert that the estimated
remaining volume in the gas cylinder is low� The alert
can be configured by the user to be displayed at an
interval of 0 minutes to 15 minutes� (Reference Table 13,
Low Cylinder Alert)�
Reason for Appearance / Solutions
A needle type not supported by the software
configuration was connected in the channel� The channel
will be disabled until an appropriate needle is connected�
The needle lot number was identified as a lot number
in a regulatory recall� The channel will be disabled until
a needle from a different lot number is connected�
The needle expiration date was identified as an
expired date� The channel will be disabled until an
appropriate needle is connected�
The software prevents needle reuse and identified a
needle previously used� The channel will be disabled
until a new needle is connected�
User connected a needle containing a bad memory
chip� User may select needle type from the drop-down
menu�
Combinations of needles that are i-Thaw Function
capable and that are not i-Thaw Function capable were
connected to the needle connection panel; no helium
gas was connected, so passive thaw was required�
An i-Thaw Function capable needle was identified
as not i-Thaw Function operational� Passive thaw or
connection of helium for active thaw is required�
