I have recently purchased a Cryopen C and an injury has occured.

Firstly, the cartidges were only lasting about 10 seconds before running out, and I ended up using 3.
I told the patient to advise me when they started to feel pain. Unfortunately, they did not, as they thought they would get a better result if they held on until it was no longer bearable!
They returned after the weekend due to the amount of pain, and a result it appears as though the tissue surrounding the VP became saturated, burst and a blood blister 3cm by 3cm has been created. I suspected possible cellulits and refered him stratight to the GP for anti-biotics. GP does not suspect cellulitis, but has aired on the side of caution.
Reading other peoples experiences, some of them say that they do 2x30 secs. Mine didn't last that long and my patient developed this blister.
Firstly, is this normal? I very much doubt it
Secondly, I am currently offloading with 5mm SCF with aperture. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thirdly, how long do you think it will take to heal? This person is in their 60's, but they do not have diabetes or any arthritis.
