Our brand new cryo consoles are not working properly.Management, and medtronic support are looking for answers as to why.Prior consoles which were removed out of service, never had these issues.Temp variations during ablation shut down the system.This has been an issue since we started using these systems.If these issues are not resolved, patients who require this particular type of ablation will have to go elsewhere for care.This malfunction added at least one hour plus to the patient's procedure time, and increased cost to the patient by adding additional products to the field for trouble shooting.
