5. HOW TO WORK WITH YOUR CRYOIQ®
Installation of N₂O Cartridge
Unscrew the protection cap of the cartridge and remove the small stopper. Then screw (clockwise) the cartridge into the
threads of the CryoIQ® body, continue to turn until feeling a light stop position. DO NOT USE FORCE!
The cartridge has a built-in fi lter and valve and can be screwed or unscrewed without any gas loss. When the cartridge is
empty replace it with a new one.
Operation Liquid “Spray” Freezing
Remove the protecting cap from the glass tip. Bring the device into towards the lesion. By pressing the lever with the fi nger
the fl ow of N₂O begins.
Operation “Contact Freezing”
By pressing the lever with the fi nger the contact tip starts to cool down. After approx. 20 sec. the tip has reached -50°C / -58°F
and you are ready to start the treatment.
Application Range
All typical indications occurring in veterinary practice, like treatment of all types of warts, skin lesions that is treatable with
cryo-surgery.
Treatment Time
Treatment time depends on the depth at which the user deems necessary.
Cleaning
The glass-/ contact tip can be cleaned and disinfected with a disinfectant or alcohol. If the device comes into contact with
blood, mucous, or any other infected area it is mandatory to steam sterilize.
Screw off the gas cartridge from the body and sterilize the body and glass- / contact tip. Use a steam sterilizer at 134°C / 273°F,
according to EN norms 13060 and 285. All other sterilization methods are excluded.
Attention!
A hot air sterilization may damage the glass tip and must be avoided under all circumstances.
Storage
After use, put the device back in the original package. Once closed, make sure the lever is not being depressed. Otherwise, gas
will leak out unintentionally.
Protect the gas cartridge from heat and direct sun expo- sure. Never expose the gas cartridge to a temperature above +50°C /
+122°F. Store at room temperature 21°C / 70°F. Make sure that the tip is always protected by the cap.
Disposal
Disposal must be conducted in accordance with local requirements. Empty gas cartridge may be disposed of as scrap metal.

Attention!
• Cartridges are under extreme pressure. Follow all suggested safety instructions.

cartridge.
Warranty
The warranty is strictly limited to the exchange of defective parts. Dropped devices or broken tips are not under warranty.
Other claims for damages such as loss of working hours, incorrect treatment and their consequences, non executed after
treatment and their consequences as well as the non- observance of the safety instructions are excluded from all warranty
and liability.
6. LIQUID “SPRAY” FREEZING
CryoIQ® Liquid Cryo provides a highly concentrated freezing for a successful treatment. Our cryosurgical devices are equipped
with a specifi c liquid gas dosing applicator. The operator is able to control the release of suffi cient liquid N₂O to treat lesions
without wasting gas. With a temperature of -128°F the liquid gas is evaporating on the lesion. A freeze / thaw method is
recommended to achieve maximum results.
This process causes the cells of the tissue to be destroyed due to the cell membrane rupturing as a consequence of ice crystal
formation within the cell.
Please note: According to clinical studies, the freezing method Liquid “Spray” Freezing with N₂O is as effi cient as liquid
nitrogen (N₂) in most cryodermatologic indications.
7. MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Contraindications
• Treatment of cutaneous mass cell tumors.
• Treatment of tumors with bony involvement.
• Treatment of animals with history of conditions such as melanoma, compromised circulation, cold intolerance and cold
utricaria.
Not Getting Expected Result?
A. No result – Treatment probably did not last long enough or the glass tip was to far away from the lesion. Snow and the ice
crystals do not effect the result only the liquid placed directly on the skin. Cryosurgery can normaly be repeated. A “second
freezing” can be applied after about one minute.
B. A blister, sometimes fi lled with blood, may develop after the treatment. Do not puncture the blister; instead cover it with
plaster or bandage.
Follow-up Treatment Suggestions
• Showering and swimming are permitted.
• Keep the treated area clean.
• The animal should not pick or scratch the treated area.

8. SUGGESTED FREEZING TIMES
The veterinary literature has many reports of varying cryogenic freezing technics. Also the thickness, location and hydration
of the target tissue can affect outcomes.Veterinary professionals should be familiar with cryosurgical techniques when using
CryoIQ®.
9. SIMPLE TREATMENT FOR SUCCESS
1. Draw a circle around the lesion to be treated. Measure the size of the lesion to be able to see the treatment result by the
next visit, document in a animal journal.
2. Put the animal in such a way that you can easily treat the lesion. If possible, the CryoIQ® device should be perpendicular
to the lesion being treated.
3. Place your device with a soft pressure against the lesion which is going to be treated.Activate your device by pressing the
lever on the side. The angle against the treatment area should be 65 – 90° to get the best result. Spraying at a distance
has absolutely no effect, max distance <1 mm.
4. For every 3 seconds of freeze, the CryoIQ® is penetrating 1mm in depth of the skin. The freezing times will vary depending
on the particular lesion being treated.
5. Freezing begins immediately. The animal may feel a little discomfort due to the extreme cold. However, a treatment will
never exceed 20 seconds limiting any severe discomfort. Approximately 5 minutes after treatment, a skin blush will appear
over the treatment area.
