Cartridge Replacement
• Always use protective gloves when removing the cartridges.
• Insert the metal pin in the pin insertion point hole on the
control mechanism.
• Hold the control mechanism at the pin position and not at
the on/off trigger. This helps grip the body without
damaging the trigger.
• Unscrew the cartridge from the control mechanism in a
counter clockwise direction.
• Remove the pin.
• Inspect the control mechanism for o-ring. If o-ring is
missing, do not attach the cartridge. Contact Integra
Miltex for o-ring replacement.
• Do not remove cartridge until empty.
• Any remaining gas will cause it to be more difficult to
remove the cartridge.

Treatment
Contact Applications
• Always use protective gloves when using CryoSolutions ® .
• Remove the plastic protective cap.
• Place the Dispensing tip perpendicular to and directly on the
skin surface and area to be treated.
• Do not apply additional pressure on the skin surface and area
to be treated.
• Depress the trigger to open the valve and immediately
liquefied gas will be delivered to the dispensing tip and on to
the skin.
• Application times are normally very brief as CryoSolutions ®
provides high performance cold temperature to the
treatment area (exceptions may include plantar warts).
• Most lesions are removed with a single treatment. However,
others may require a second treatment or even further
applications, such as plantar warts.
