The freezing function is often accompanied by a characteristic ‘pulsing’ sound which indicates that the Cryomatic is regulating the gas to the optimum pressure for the probe. The ‘pulsing’ may vary or cease completely depending on the pressure of gas in the cylinder.
Cryo-Tip probes are stored properly to avoid accidental damage. Fault Conditions The Cryomatic system has the ability to detect a range of system faults. In the unlikely event of a fault condition arising, the fault symbol icon will flash and a short error message will be displayed.

7. Cleaning & Sterilization Cryo-Tip probes are reusable and should be sterilized before each use. The following reprocessing guidelines are in accordance with ISO 17664. Warnings & Precautions General Cryo-Tip probes are precision instruments and should be handled with care at all times. It is important that the flexible hose does not become kinked during normal use, storage, transportation or reprocessing.
Inspection & Function Testing Visually inspect for damage and wear. Check probe tips for signs of bending, distortion or other damage. Connect Cryo-Tip Probe to ‘Cryomatic’ console to check correct and smooth function of probe quick release coupling. Packaging No particular requirements.
This service will include performance checks, cleaning or replacement of inlet filters and safety checks on pneumatic couplings. User Maintenance There are no user serviceable parts in the Cryomatic system and operator maintenance is restricted to the following: Cleaning the Cryo-Tip probe tip. Non-abrasive metal polish should be used.

To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Cryomatic is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Cryomatic should be observed to verify normal operation.

NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by the absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. The Cryomatic should not be used adjacent to or stacked with any other equipment. If this configuration is required then normal operation of the Cryomatic should be verified in this setting.
