Step 1 I Empty the loading cavity
Before loading a new cartridge, release
any unused gas from the used cartridge
by pressing the button or unscrewing the
applicator cap (CryoPen|c/CryoProbe|c).
Discard the used cartridge. Please ensure
that the used filter does not remain inside
the cavity.
Step 2 I Load a new cartridge
The cartridges are packed in peel-pack
blisters with an assembled filter and
cartridge opener included. The filters are
used for protection of the applicator. The
opener punctures the cartridge.
CryoPen|c/CryoProbe|c and CryoPen|m/
CryoProbe|m can be used
cartridges only. CryoPen|x/CryoProbe|x
can also be used with 16g cartridges. The
CryoPen|x/CryoProbe|x backend is for
use with 8g cartridges. The CryoPen|xl/
CryoProbe|xl backend is for use with
16g cartridges. 8g and 16g indications
are clearly applied on the cartridge's
packaging.

Empty loading cavity
Blistered cartridge and
assembled filter/opener device
with 8g
Ensure that the loading cavity is empty
of all residue. Open the peel-pack. Take
out the filter/opener with the tweezers.
Hold the CryoPen/CryoProbe's tip end
pointed downward. Place the filter in
the instrument and make sure that it is
seated flat at the bottom of the loading
cavity. The trocar of the opener should be
pointed upward. Take the cartridge and
put it into the cavity with the narrow side
down, on top of the filter/opener device.
Step 3 I Puncture the unused cartridge
Gently screw the CryoPen/CryoProbe's
backend onto the front end. Go to the point
where you feel that the contact between
the assembled filter/opener device and
the cartridge is established. Now, position
your hands so that the last turn will be in
an uninterrupted movement. Now, rotate
quickly until you feel that the end of the
rotation is achieved. You may eventually
hear a short hissing sound. The shorter the
hiss, the better!
