1.
Unpack and transfer the sterile sheath to the sterile area in an aseptic manner.
2.
Cover the Probe
(13)
and the Probe Cable
(14)
with the sterile sheath at least over the
length of the sterile area.
3.
Fix the sheath to a point outside of the sterile field to prevent unwanted
contamination of the sterile area.
The Probe
(13)

Caution.
The detection distance of the Pintuition Detector is up to 50mm.
The Pintuition Detector provides detection feedback in millimeters towards the implanted
Pintuition Seed.
The Pintuition Detector has a detection distance up to 50 mm.
The Pintuition Detector has a detection accuracy that is dependent upon the distance
between the Seed and the Pintuition Probe, according to the following table:

The Pintuition Detector is designed for directional detection. The system will only provide
detection feedback when the position of the Pintuition Seed is within a detection cone going
outward from the Probe. The cone is narrow when near the seed (<35mm) and widens at
further distances:
