Cryomatic MKII Cryosurgical console by KEELER
Drying
Hot Air Dry.
Maintenance
Check for obvious signs of damage – return to manufacturer if any damage is noted.
Inspection and Function Testing
Visually inspect for damage and wear. Check Probe tips for signs of bending, distortion or other
damage. Connect Cryo Probe to the Cryomatic MKII Console to check the correct and smooth
function of Probe quick release coupling.
Packaging
Paper autoclave bag meeting ISO 11607 requirements with chemical indicators meeting ISO
11140-1, or follow guidance provided in ANSI/AAMI ST79 – refer to the product-specific
instruction manual for compatibility with steam sterilisation.
Sterilisation
Cryo Probe must be cleaned prior to sterilisation. Thorough cleaning removes both micro-
organisms and organic material. Failure to remove organic material decreases effectiveness of
the sterilisation procedure. After cleaning, make sure that the instrument is carefully dried.
Place the instruments in appropriate instrument trays or pouches. Wrap or seal them
adequately. Do not seal the instruments in close contact with each other as this might impair
the sterilisation effect.
Never rinse the instruments with cold water for cooling. Be careful when unloading the
autoclave, the contents may be hot.
Make sure that the sterile package of the instruments is not damaged. If
packaging/sterile barrier is damaged, risk of infection can occur:
If the package has been perforated, if the sealing has been opened, if the packaging is wet or
if the packaging is damaged in any other way, repackage and then re-sterilise the instruments.
Disinfection is only acceptable as a precursor to full sterilisation for reusable surgical instruments.
See Table 1 for recommended sterilisation parameters using equipment meeting relevant
standards. These parameters have been validated by the manufacturer as providing effective
sterilisation, and are in accordance with the typical cycle parameters in ANSI/AAMI ST79 Table 5.
Steriliser manufacturer recommendations should always be followed. When sterilising multiple
Probes in one sterilisation cycle, ensure that the manufacturer's maximum load is not exceeded.
