What is it indicated for?

AtriCure’s cryolCE cryoXT cryoablation probes are intended for use to temporarily block pain by ablating peripheral nerves performed by freezing target tissues, creating an inflammatory response (cryonecrosis).

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
