Key?
Please, I'd like the references or a comment of a recognized flute player or some article with the example.

I found the name of the key the the manufacturer's website. They call it the Ice lever (A#).
Reference from Yamaha

Can you give me an example of how the Ice lever is used in practice?
I'm accustomed to using alternative keys depending the passages on the music sheet, but this key doesn't make sense because B flat is very near to this key.

That's an alternative B-flat key. It's particularly useful in chromatic combinations e.g. B B♭ A B♭, in chromatic scales, or for trills e.g. A♭ to B♭. Or for this kind of chromatic phrase

If you want a reference, the Woodwind Fingering Guide calls this the
"Bb trill key". Others call it the "B-flat lever". Yamaha calls it the "Ice lever".
Blogger Jennifer Cluff has a series of articles on using the three different B-flat alternatives: part 1, part 2, more.
Your reference is not reliable and the name of the key is wrong. I found the name with the very manufacture .

@Elizeu Since you kindly provided the link to that Yamaha page, of course I added that to my answer for the sake of completeness. There's nothing to 'find out' about the use in the chromatic scale. If you practice that fingering you'll see that it's much faster. Or ask your teacher, they will confirm this.

@Elizeu: "Ice lever" sounds very strange. However the word "ice" sounds just the same as "ais", the German name for A sharp... Maybe it comes from that?
