Cardioblate™ CryoFlex™ surgical ablation console
The Cardioblate™ CryoFlex™ surgical ablation console is the command center for the CryoFlex™ surgical ablation system.
Description
The Cardioblate™ CryoFlex™ surgical ablation console consists of a control panel and a carrier for transporting and storing the argon gas tank. The console provides the energy for a variety of malleable, flexible, single-use CryoFlex™ probes.
Features
Adjustable surgical ablation timer
A built-in timer can be set for the targeted duration of each ablation. When the pre-set ablation time is reached, the system automatically stops.
Probe temperature gauge
Probe temperature is indicated on the console to help the operator assess temperature performance during ablation.
Ablation minutes-remaining indicator
The system has a pressure sensor that calculates the amount of ablation time remaining with the attached tank of argon gas.
Integrated membrane keypad control
The console has one-touch, push-button controls to help prevent inadvertent activation.
