6. Carefully turn the cylinder valve on the argon gas cylinder counterclockwise for one quarter turn.
Ensure that the pressure reading on the gauge responds immediately. Turn the cylinder valve
further counterclockwise (approximately one full turn) to open the gas cylinder so that sucient
gas ow is present.
Figure 3-8. Open Argon Gas Cylinder
If no argon pressure is displayed on the system pressure gauge, ensure the Argon Shuto Valve
is in the ON position.
OPTIONAL:
The EZ‑Connect2 Dual Cylinder Adapter connects two cylinders of argon gas to the Console
to support a cryoablation procedure. A four‑way adapter assembly with argon pressure gauge
connects a gas supply line, the primary gas cylinder, and an auxiliary gas supply line.
If using the optional EZ‑Connect2 Adapter, connect the gas supply line with four‑way pressure
gauge adapter assembly to the primary argon cylinder by securing the gauge assembly adapter
onto the cylinder connection.
• Connect the end of the gas supply line to the argon inlet of the Console using the
quick‑connect connector.
• Connect the auxiliary gas supply line to the four‑way adapter assembly using the
quick‑connect connector located on the end of the auxiliary gas supply line.
• Connect the opposite end of the auxiliary gas supply line to the second argon cylinder by
securing the end of the auxiliary line to the cylinder connection.
• Open the primary cylinder valve rst and use this cylinder until depleted. Do not open the
cylinder valve on the second cylinder until the initial cylinder has been depleted.
• Reference Section 5.3 for instructions on changing the gas cylinder during a procedure, if the
second cylinder is also depleted during the procedure.
