Medtronic CryoCath Professional Education and Training

At Medtronic CryoCath, we are committed to Professional Education and Training to help you achieve optimal use of our cryoablation tools. Our goal is to make your lab self-sufficient with our technology and products so you can cryoablate with complete confidence.

We offer a number of training programs to suit your needs: at your lab (onsite), at another location (off-site) or online.

U.S.A.

Onsite training

Our dedicated team of clinical specialists will conduct in-service training with physicians and medical personnel onsite at your lab to ensure you get the most out of our products and technology. This initial in-service training is a mandatory session for all professionals who plan to use our system.

There are over 20 dedicated clinical specialists in the United States to help you get started with your cryoablation program.

We provide comprehensive onsite training that includes:

How to set up, operate, and troubleshoot the console
Cryotherapy fundamentals
Understanding differences between cryo and radiofrequency ablation
Best practices to optimize your experience with cryotherapy

We strongly recommend all EP team members follow this thorough training before your first case. Our highly qualified clinical specialists will be there to assist you in your first cryoablation cases. Typically, it takes five cases for physician and staff members to become self-sufficient in the use of our system; accordingly, we recommend that our clinical specialists attend your first five cases. Subsequently, we repeat the in-service training for lab staff, answer any additional questions, and assess self-sufficiency.

On request, our clinical staff will conduct customized training to fulfill your lab requirements – just ask us! Contact your Medtronic CryoCath Representative for details.
