ERBECRYO® 2
Flexible cryo technology with focus on reproducibility
• The ERBECRYO® 2 unit together with flexible, single-use probes is the next generation of Erbe cryo technology that is designed with a focus on reproducibility:
- Improved freezing performance
- Improved standardization
- Consistent target tissue effects
• Target tissue can be frozen to the cryoprobe en face and tangentially, enabling clinical applications in challenging anatomy and hard-to-reach target areas
• Cryo technology does not require reduced oxygen concentration levels compared to “hot” techniques like Electrosurgery, APC® or laser
• Biopsies with higher quality compared with flexible forceps biopsies
- Higher diagnostic yield
- Bigger biopsies
- Better biopsy (very few crush artifacts or internal bleeding within the sample; the morphological structure remains intact)
• The ERBECRYO® 2 provides several new features intended to improve clinical convenience for the user and to support state of the art clinical results
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas only:
- helps to standardize clinical results worldwide with a non narcotic, user friendly gas
• Flow control - improved reproducibility:
- provides just as much gas as the probe needs to reach its maximum freezing power, for every probe size
- saves gas and provides reproducible freezing results which supports standardization
• Plug and operate - system communication:
- the system automatically detects the size of the probe
- flow control sets the right parameters for an optimal freezing result based on probe size
- gas bottle and footswitch connections are actively monitored
• Error management - system feedback:
- plug and operate feature detects malfunctioning connections of all components which lowers time of searching for Errors
- flow control can detect malfunctions of the unit and the probes which helps to identify the source of failures
• Timer - clinical standardization:
- provides visual and acoustic feedback of the freezing time
- supports standardization and reproducibility (freezing time is a highly relevant factor of cryo target tissue effect)
• Design - improved convenience:
- socket design allows the connection of the cryoprobes with just one push
- digital display gives the user an overview of all important working parameters
