Care and Storage
Upon completion of the surgical procedure, shut off the system at both
the console and the tank. A squeeze of the trigger releases any resid-
ual gas in the console. Remove the cryo tip from the gun for cleaning
and place the tip protector onto the end of the gun. Wipe down the gun
barrel. The console can remain connected to the gas cylinder and the
gun can hang on the mobile cart hook. Or, disconnect the system and
return to the carrying case for storage.
Cleaning
WARNING: DO NOT USE BLEACH OR ANY PRODUCT CONTAINING
CHLORINE IN THE CLEANING OF THIS PRODUCT.
CAUTION: DO NOT RINSE OR SOAK TIPS WITHOUT FIRST INSTALLING
CLEANING PLUGS. VERIFY THE CLEANING PLUGS HAVE RUBBER O-
RINGS IN PLACE TO PREVENT LIQUID FROM ENTERING THE TIPS.

Clean the cryogun and tips by wiping down with alcohol. Clean the tips
in a mild soap and water solution with cleaning plugs installed and O-
rings in place. After cleaning, remove the cleaning plugs and return to
the storage pouch. For storage, cleaning tips also fit on the metal studs
located on the console.
