Visual-ICE Cryoablation System, FPRCH6000. The cryoablation system is a mobile console system intended for cryoablative tissue destruction using a minimally invasive procedure. The system is computer-controlled with a touch screen user interface that allows the user to control and monitor the procedure. The therapy delivered by the system is based on the Joule-Thomson effect displayed by compressed gases. The Visual-ICE System uses high-pressure argon gas that circulates through closed-tip cryoablation needles to induce tissue freezing. Active tissue thawing is achieved by circulating helium gas through the needles or, alternatively , by the use of Galil Medical I-Thaw technology in which a heating element inside the cryoablation needle can be energized to cause thawing.
