Instructions for Use

Surgery:

Remove the PathProof lid.
Remove the adjustable stabilizer plate using thumb tabs.
Insert the specimen into the container.

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.
