ERBECRYO 2 Cryosurgical Unit Model/Catalog Number: 10402-000
A strong pull on the high-pressure transfer hose of cryosurgical unit may lead to pneumatic short circuit between he gas inlet and the connector resulting in CO2 leaking into the return path, leading to excessive pressure causing the cryoprobe to rupture.

IceSeed 1.5 CX S NEEDLE US, Cryoablation Needle, REF H7493967233100. The needles are intended to convert high-pressure gas to either a very cold Freezing application or to a warm Thawing application.
Boston Scientific has identified that IceSeedTM CX needles manufactured between April 2024 and February 2025 have been programmed with DEMO settings instead of Commercial settings (see Affected Product Listing). Upon initial connection of an IceSeed CX needle to the Cryoablation System, the user will be prompted to perform the Needle Integrity and Functionality Test (NIT) per standard protocols. The affected needles perform as intended unless they are disconnected and reconnected to any channel after testing. In this case, the Cryoablation System will prompt re-execution of the NIT.
