cryoICE Cryoablation Probes

AtriCure’s cryoICE cryoablation probe is indicated for use in the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The probe freezes target tissues, creating an inflammatory response (cryonecrosis) that blocks the electrical conduction pathway. For Adult Patients AtriCure’s Cryo2 cryoICE cryoablation probes are sterile, single use devices intended for use in the cryosurgical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias by freezing target tissues, creating an inflammatory response (cryonecrosis) that blocks the electrical conduction pathway. The Cryo2 cryoICE cryo-ablation probes are also intended for use to temporarily block pain by ablating peripheral nerves. For Adolescent Patients The Cryo2 cryoICE cryo-ablation probes are intended for use to temporarily block pain by ablating intercostal nerves under direct visualization* in adolescent patients of at least 12 years of age. (1) Direct visualization, in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the targeted tissue for cryoablation directly or with assistance from a camera, endoscope or other similar optical technology.
