Instructions for Use

Surgery:

Remove the PathProof lid.
Remove the adjustable stabilizer plate using thumb tabs.
Insert the specimen into the container.
Using thumbs to press on the inner tabs, reinsert the adjustable stabilizer plate to lightly secure specimen. Do not compress the stabilizer plate to cause the specimen to protrude through the grid, doing so may compromise the specimen’s reading.
Securely replace the PathProof lid to minimize leakage during transport.
Label the top of the container with patient information.
Transport PathProof to Radiology.

Radiology:

Verify specimen is securely in place and not protruding through the grid.
With the PathProof lid intact, take the image.
Secure the lid and transport PathProof to Pathology.

Pathology:

Remove the PathProof lid.
Remove the stabilizer plate using thumb tabs.
Process the specimen and place it back in the container with lid, for storage.
