CooperSurgical Frigitronics CE-2000
CooperSurgical · Model Frigitronics CE-2000
Frigitronics CE-2000 The is a completely nonelectric, low-pressure, fully exhausted cryosurgical system that uses nitrous oxide gas. The system destroys tissue by applying extreme, controlled temperature down to a maximum of -89º C. The CE-2000 consists of a control console with foot pedal, mobile equipment carrier, nitrous oxide cylinders and cryosurgical probes. Depress the foot pedal to rapidly freeze and release to defrost. The backlight display activates automatically when the foot pedal is depressed. An automatic shut-off built into the system will stop the flow of nitrous oxide gas and will shut off the backlight and display approximately four minutes after the probe has been set aside. The system can be reactivated by simply depressing the foot pedal. A wide range of probes are available for use with the CE-2000.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not power on
- Confirm the outlet, mains lead and fuse.
- Try on battery, then on mains only, to isolate the supply.
- Look for a power indicator or POST code.
- Replace the fuse / battery / power supply as isolated.
- Run the self-test after any repair.
Symptom: Fails self-test or calibration
- Note the exact failure message / code.
- Power-cycle and repeat the self-test.
- Verify against a reference / simulator where one applies.
- Recalibrate per the service manual.
- Refer the affected board for service if it will not hold calibration.
