Safety instructions

WARNING!
These products may only be used by trained medical staff who
have been instructed in their use on the basis of the Notes on
Use.
Curative cryodevitalization or extraction of tissue tumors cannot
be guaranteed when using the ERBOKRYO CA system. It is pos-
sible that the tumor will not be fully destroyed or extracted and
will remain in the patient. Consider the advantages and disad-
vantages of cryodevitalization before using the ERBOKRYO CA.
Pacemakers can be impaired or damaged by exposure to cold. If
the operating field is in the direct vicinity of a pacemaker, it is
absolutely essential to consult a cardiologist prior to performing
an operation with a cryoprobe!
Check gas pressure on the unit. The cryoprobes can be operated
in a pressure range from 40 to 60 bar. Do not expose the cryo-
probes to pressure above 60 bar (red zone on the pressure
gauge).
Check the product (including connection hose, probe coupling
and O-rings) for damage every time before it is used.
If damaged, do not use this product!
In particular, do not use a product with an application element
that is kinked, crimped or has surface damage.
Check the product function and seal before each use.
Never use a product that is not leak-tight or a product with in-
adequate freezing capacity. There is a risk that a gas embolism
could develop if an application element is used that is not leak-
tight.
Never lay this product on the patient or in his/her direct vicinity.
The probe coupling must be closed with the protective cap in
transport, storage and sterilization.
