6. Route the helium gas supply line through the supply line clip on the Console.
7. Connect the helium high-pressure gas supply line to the helium cylinder by securing the gauge
assembly adapter onto the cylinder connection (Figure 4-2).
NOTE: Gas cylinder connections have left-handed threads.

8. Carefully turn the cylinder valve on the helium gas cylinder counter-clockwise for one quarter
turn. Ensure that the pressure reading on the gauge responds immediately. Turn the cylinder
valve further counter-clockwise (approximately one full turn) to fully open the gas cylinder so that
su󰀩cient gas ow is present.
9. Repeat the procedure outlined in Steps 4 through 8 to connect the argon gas cylinder to the
Visual-ICE System, using the argon gas supply line.
If no argon pressure is displayed on the system pressure gauge, ensure the Argon Shuto󰀨 Valve
is in the GAS ON position.
OPTIONAL:
• The EZ-Connect2 Dual Cylinder Adapter connects two cylinders of argon gas to the
Visual-ICE System 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 Visual-ICE System using the
quick-connect connector.
