It was reported that insufficient ice occurred.An icefx cryoablation system was selected for a cryoablation procedure of a kidney.The first freeze was completed; however, during the second freeze, the probes did not frost over, and the unit did not sound like it was sending gas through to the probes.The temp displays ranged -100 to -30, but no errors were seen.All the probes were stopped, and the probe that was reading the lowest temperature was unlocked and relocked.This caused an ithaw/cautery malfunction to display.All the probes were started again, and all but one formed frost.A shutdown/restart was performed, and the unit again functioned properly.The procedure was completed with this console.
