BOX Version 6 INSTRUCTION FOR USE AtriCure cryoICE BOX, model ACM2 – 230 (220-240)VAC, 2A, 50/60 Hz AtriCure Europe B.V. AtriCure Inc. De entree 260 7555 Innovation Way 1101 EE Amsterdam Mason, Ohio 45040 USA +1 866 349 2342...
AtriCure’s cryo-ablation probes. The intended purpose of the ACM Exhaust Hose Connector is an optional accessory of the AtriCure cryoICE BOX, providing a method to connect the AtriCure cryoICE BOX exhaust to a hospital medical vacuum or waste anesthesia gas disposal (WAGD) system.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external • antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the cryoICE BOX, including cables specified by the AtriCure. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.

• In addition of the Activation Button on the front panel of the ACM, an accessory Footswitch can also be used to activate and terminate the cryo ablation cycle. • The ACM is designed to operate only with AtriCure’s PROBES. Refer to the AtriCure’s PROBE Instruction for Use for detailed use and description.
Activation Switch or the Footswitch while in the FREEZE Mode. In this mode, the AtriCure’s PROBE temperature is actively forced towards the ambient temperature. Once the AtriCure’s PROBE temperature is above approximately 10°C (50°F), the ACM will transition back to the READY Mode.

(Turn-ON) or disconnect mains power (Turn-OFF) to the ACM. • After powering ON, the Activation Button on the front of the ACM interface will illuminate. If the button does not illuminate, check for proper power cord connection and switch position. Figure 11: Turn-ON AtriCure Cryo Module with Switch...
Resetting the N O Gas Gauge • Only reset the gauge when a new full cylinder has been installed. Ensure is powered ON. • • Ensure the ACM is in READY mode. • Find the gas cylinder display on the front of the and note the RESET button to the right of this display, see Figure 12.
DEVICE Install AtriCure cryoICE System Probe Ensure ACM is properly connected to a N2O gas cylinder. The PROBE may be connected before the ACM has been turned on, while the ACM is being turned on, or when the ACM is on and in READY Mode.
A test run is advised to ensure the PROBE and ACM is working properly prior to the case. Pneumatic connectors should only be unplugged when the ACM is in the READY mode. Set Ablation Time The time of ablation is displayed in the middle of the interface of the ACM and is indicated by a clock under- neath the display.
This should only be done at the discretion of a physician as there will not be temperature feed- back. 6 . SYSTEM DISASSEMBLY AFTER USE Check to see that the service icon is not illuminated. If so, contact your local AtriCure representative to correct the problem. Disconnecting the AtriCure...
