These high-tech devices can bring crew members back from the brink of death. The station starts with two, but they have to be set up first. It automatically stabilizes people in critical condition, and will safely lower a patient's body temperature to levels at which Cryoxadone and Clonexadone are effective. These chemicals will heal all damage types, and are the only way to fix clone loss caused by cloning and slime feeding.
Use:
- Make sure to do this beforehand, possibly in anticipation of injured people.
- Wrench both O2 Canisters onto the manifolds. Only cryogenic temperature O2 works in the tubes.
- Load each cryogenic tube with Clonexadone or Cryoxadone inside, with Clonexadone as the priority chemical. You can use other chemicals, but cryogenic chemicals heal the best in cryogenic temperatures.
- Set the freezer to the lowest degrees Kelvin possible, and make sure that it's turned on. The colder the tube, the more O2 used and the faster the effects of the drugs in the cryo tube.
- Remove any insulating clothes from the patient, such as space suits or insulated gloves.
- Grab the person and stuff them in the tube. They will begin to chill, make sure their body temperature is under 170 K.
- Set the tube's setting to "On". This enables the drugs to flow into the patient.
- Monitor the patient until they are fully healed.
- Turn off the tube, or else you waste medicine.
- Eject the patient and wake them.
- Make sure that you have an adequate supply of cryogenic drugs. If you're all out, go bother Chemistry for more.
Maintenance:
- Ensure the tubes have a beaker of Clonexadone or Cryoxadone inside. They both heal the standard damage types at the same rate, but Clonexadone will heal genetic deformities three times faster than Cryoxadone. A mixture of the two will heal people even faster than either on its own.
- You can use other chemicals, but they don't benefit from the cold environment.
- Ensure there is enough O2 to chill the tubes.
- Ensure no pipes are out of place, if any are loose, line them up and wrench them back into place. If any are broken, get an atmospheric technician to repair it.
