squeeze the trigger switch to start the
working. Releasing the trigger will close
off the flow of cryogenic liquid. You may
observe that during 1 or 2 seconds after
releasing the trigger, the remaining gas in
the applicator is discarded.
Applicators with various flow rates are
available. Ask your distributor or check on

• Always gently manipulate all components of CryoPen/CryoProbe
instruments. Never use more than gentle hand force. Never use
pliers or other tools to manipulate the instrument.
• Incorrect placement of the filter/opener device into the loading
cavity will cause irreversible damage to the instrument.
• Residual foreign matters in the loading cavity while placing a new
filter/opener can cause instrument failure.
• When loaded, the instrument is under high pressure. Any change to
the construction of the instrument may cause a potential risk.
• Never block the gas release opening at the end of CryoPen/
CryoProbe's backend!
• All external parts can be wiped with a cloth soaked in any
noncorrosive disinfecting solution. Never immerse the entire
instrument in a disinfecting solution. Only the applicators can be
autoclaved.
• The applicators and the cartridges must be kept away from dust
and high temperatures. Leave the cap on when not in use.
• The CryoPen/CryoProbe should be handled with care. When storing
the instrument with a loaded cartridge in its case, position the
CryoPen/CryoProbe in such a way that the trigger switch cannot
be depressed when closing the lid of the case. This would cause
undesired gas flow.
• CryoPen/CryoProbe instruments are intended for professional use
only.
• Best results are obtained with instrument and cartridges at room
temperature (21°C /77°F). Lower temperatures will give less pressure
in gas flow with longer flow time. Higher temperatures will cause
higher gas pressure and shorter flow time.
• Empty cartridges should be discarded as metal scrap.
