Freezpen start up guide
STEP 1
•Unscrew to open the Freezpen
•Open the cartridge pack containing the cartridge and the filter (the small
round part that also pierces the cartridge)
•Carefully pick up the filter with the tweezers provided with the Freezpen

2
•Place the filter upright (with the point facing upwards) into the slot in the
bottom part of the Freezpen.This is very important as incorrect positioning of
the filter will result in malfunction of the device.
STEP 2
•Place the cartridge on the filter and press it down
•Screw down the upper part of the Freezpen lightly until you feel it stop. Now
screw firmly with both hands to secure the cartridge. The last twist will pierce
the seal of the cartridge. You should hear a click as the cartridge pierces and
opens inside.

•Press the button for a few seconds until there is a continuous flow from the nib.
You should hear a gentle whistle sound. The Freezpen is now ready for
treatment.

FAQs
•Can I autoclave the nozzle?
Yes, the Freezpen nozzles are autoclavable.
•How many cartridges are required per session?
It is recommended to use a new cartridge per session to ensure the correct
amount of flow to the area of treatment.
•When is it safe to open the Freezpen to change the cartridge?
After the treatment, press the button to release the remaining nitrogen out of
the cartridge. Only once the cartridge is empty it is safe to unscrew the parts
to open.
•What can I do if I cannot hear a whistle sound and/or there is no continuous
flow from the nib when I press the button?
1) Ensure the cartridge has been pierced: the upper and bottom parts may
not have been screwed in tightly enough.
2) The Freezpen nozzle at the bottom of the pen may not have been
screwed in tightly and the nitrogen may be escaping from the gaps either
side. Check the nozzle is firmly screwed in.
3) Ensure the lid that fits over the nozzle has been taken off.
4) Ensure no residue or particles are obstructing the nozzle exit.
5) Ensure the Freezpen is held nose down like a writing pen so that the
nitrogen flows downwards.
•The cartridge is releasing the nitrogen for less than 150 seconds, what can I
do?
Ensure a new cartridge is used for each treatment. If that was the case,
please contact Algeos Customer Services with the batch number of the
Freezpen cartridges box.
•How can I take the lid off if it is stuck in the nozzle?
To release the lid, unscrew the nozzle a bit and try to pull down the lid. Once
the lid is removed, screw the nozzle back in.
