Features
MedGyn’s Cryotherapy Sysyem is designed for use with N2O or with CO2. N2O
produces a lower temperature, and thus destroys tissue faster. (A faster rate of
freeze is considered more effective).
• MedGyn’s cryotherapy tip reaches about – 89°C with N2O and – 65°C with
CO2 (boiling points).
• Tissue necrosis occurs at approximately – 20°C.
• Tissue temperature at edge of ice ball formed by Cryo tip is 0°C.
Temperature graduates from edge of ice ball to proper operating temperature at the
tip. Limit of tissue destruction occurs approximately 1 to 2mm inside periphery of
visible ice ball.
Duration
The longer cryotherapy tip and tissue contact, the deeper penetration of tissue
freeze and the larger the ice ball.
The colder the temperature, the faster the freeze and the deeper the penetration.
Ice ball should cover all diseased tissue plus 1-2mm. If additional depth is required,
allow tissue to thaw; then re-freeze. To speed procedure, Model MGC-200 has a
prolonged defrost mode to gently thaw frozen tissue. The second freeze procedure
will freeze tissue faster and deeper. Depth may be judged to be 2/3 of lateral visible
ice ball.
Contraindications
Attach cryotherapy
tip by turning cryo-
therapy tip clockwise
onto probe shaft
3. Open gas tank valve (SLOWLY open gas tank and verify correct gas pressure).
CAUTION
Operation
NOTE: An essential element in Cryotherapy is moisture. Ensure that tissue is moist-
ened with saline, jelly or similar agents.
• Place cryotherapy tip on moistened tissue and gently squeeze trigger until first
“click” position. This is “Freeze” mode. There is no need to maintain finger
pressure on trigger.
• To defrost, squeeze trigger fully against handle and hold. In 10-15 seconds
tip will appear frost-free and detach easily from tissue. Do not attempt
to withdraw tip prior to defrost as tissue will tear.
1. OFF POSITION
To ensure trigger
is in off position,
squeeze trigger
to handle and
release.
Squeeze trigger to
handle and hold to defrost.
Typical defrost takes 10-15
seconds.
WARNING
• Do not store gas tanks near radiators or in hot areas as this will
result in increased pressure in tank.
1. During cleaning and disinfection the Cryotherapy Tip remains attached to the
Cryo Probe Shaft to prevent water from entering the inside cavities of each.
2. Cleaning and disinfection of the Cryotherapy Probe Shaft, and cleaning, disin-
fection, and sterilization of the Tip should be done prior to first use, and should
be performed immediately after each use to prevent accumulation of dried on
debris.
3. Cleaning of the Cryotherapy Probe Shaft, Cryotherapy Tip, rest of the Cryo-
therapy Probe Unit (Regulator, Flexible Tubing, Handle, and Upper Part of Shaft)
is carried out using Enzol® enzymatic detergent and CaviWipes® & CaviCide®
6. Automated cleaning and automated disinfection are not suitable to the Cryo-
therapy Probe System due to the risk of water entering the Cryotherapy Probe or
Cryotherapy Tips and causing damage to the unit.
Remove Cryotherapy Probe Unit and Cryotherapy Tips from their shipping pack-
aging
The Cryotherapy Probe Unit and Cryotherapy Tips are not supplied sterile
Follow the instructions below to prepare the Cryotherapy Probe Unit and Cryo-
therapy Tips for initial use
At the Point of Use: Remove excess debris from the Cryotherapy Shaft and Tip
using a cotton cloth moistened with water. Perform the following cleaning and
disinfection method in the cleaning area:
Containment of the Unit During Transportation to Cleaning Area: Place the unit
in a tray with a lid to transport the device to the cleaning area. Discard the soiled
cotton cloth in appropriate contaminated material receptacle.
Recommended water: Fresh tap water may be used for cleaning and disinfecting
purposes and rinsing where appropriate.
Cleaning, Manual:
1. Wipe Cryo Probe Unit with detergent (Enzol® enzymatic detergent diluted 1
oz/1 gal as per package directions with fresh tap water at room temperature)
dampened lint-free cotton cloth. All parts of the probe may be wiped down, in-
cluding upper portion of Probe Shaft, handle, flexible tubing, and regulator. Care
should be taken to avoid getting water inside the unit.
2. Rinse cloth with tap water, wring out, and wipe Cryotherapy Probe again to
remove detergent. Repeat this 2 additional times or until there is no remaining
detergent residue on the Probe. Do not rinse the Cryotherapy Probe Unit with
running water as this may allow water to enter the unit.
3. Wipe Cryotherapy Probe unit with a CaviWipes® cloth. All parts of the probe
may be wiped down including the upper portion of the Probe Shaft, handle,
flexible tubing, and regulator. Multiple CaviWipes® are used. CaviCide® was
sprayed on the Probe Shaft, handle, flexible tubing, and regulator and a brush
was used to reach crevices. The nipple from the gas valve attachment was re-
moved and wiped down. The CaviWipes® process is repeated once.
2. Rinse Cryotherapy Probe Shaft well with fresh tap water, taking care not to
get water inside the unit. Rinse the seam between the shaft and tip thoroughly
during this process.
Drying:
Disinfection, Manual:
Equipment Needed:
Clean lint-free cotton cloths, disinfectant solution: Cidex® OPA Solution (0.55%
ortho-phthalaldehyde concentration, used full strength).
1. The Cryotherapy Probe Shaft with tip attached in place can be submerged up
to approximately ½ to 1 inch from the top of the Shaft in the Cidex® OPA Solu-
tion at a minimum of 20°C (68°F) and ensuring that all air bubbles are removed
from the surface of the Cryotherapy Probe shaft and Tip. Flush the disinfectant
in the hard-to-reach areas a minimum of 5 times using a syringe. The Cryothera-
py Probe Shaft and Cryotherapy Tip are soaked for a minimum of 24 minutes.
2. The Cryotherapy Probe shaft with tip in place should be thoroughly rinsed by
submerging up to approximately ½ to 1 inch from the top in a large volume of
fresh tap water agitating for a minimum of one minute. This process should be
repeated 2 additional times using fresh batch of water each time.
Drying:
Packaging:
Remove the Cryotherapy Tip from the unit. Place the clean, disinfected, dried
Cryotherapy unit (regulator, flexible tubing, handle, and shaft) in a clean plastic
bag to keep the unit clean and dust-free.
Sterilization:
Cryotherapy Tips:
Sterilization is only suitable for the Cryotherapy Tips. Sterilization is not suitable for
other parts of the Cryotherapy Probe System. Warning: Use of Clorox or any kind of
bleach for Cryotherapy Tip sterilization can permanently damage the tips!
Maintenance:
No particular requirements
1. Visually inspect Cryotherapy Tips for damage and wear (cuts, scratches, dents, or
chips). If damage or wear is noted, replace the Cryotherapy Tip.
2. Check that the Cryotherapy Probe or Cryotherapy Tips surfaces appear clean.
3. Make sure there is no water inside the Cryotherapy Tip as this may block the
Cryotherapy Probe with ice formation. If water gets inside the Cryotherapy Tip cav-
ity: do not use this Cryotherapy Tip, wait for the Cryotherapy Tip to dry completely.
Storage:
Store all parts in a clean dry area in a manner that minimizes contamination or dam-
age
The cleaning, disinfection and sterilization instructions provided above have been vali-
dated by MedGyn Products Inc. as being capable of preparing the device for re-use. It
remains the responsibility of the re-processor to ensure that the reprocessing as actually
performed using equipment, materials and personnel in the reprocessing facility achieve
the desired results. This normally requires validation and routine monitoring of the pro-
cess. Likewise, any deviation by the re-processor from the instructions provided should
be properly evaluated for effectiveness and potential adverse consequences.
Tank Instructions:
2. Do not store gas tanks near radiators or in hot areas, as this will result in in-
creased pressure inside tank. The Cryotherapy system is designed to automati-
cally and safely bleed tank to operating pressure, so this leads to faster deple-
tion of gas.
Accessories
See enclosed flyer for available tips for Model MGC-200
The following tips all fit the Model MGC-200 Cryotherapy Unit. The first two
digits refer to diameter of tip, the second pair of digits refers to depth of tip that
freezes. Both are expressed in mm. Uses for various tips are indicated, but tips
are not limited to these suggestion.
Cryotherapy Tips
Trouble-Shooting
TWO main situations may arise with the Cryotherapy Unit:
Lack of Defrost may be due to cryotherapy system valves sticking in the open
position due to an obstruction or water-vapor freeze. If so, depress trigger fully to
defrost, shut off gas valve and irrigate tissue area to defrost.
Condition Remedy
1) Low pressure causing Open gas valve fully. If needle goes to and stays in
lack of freezing and yellow zone, replace gas cylinder.
