The PercuNav MP008R-B Button Probe is designed to be used with Philips (formerly Traxtal) PercuNav Image Guided Intervention System. Some of the clinical applications of the Button Probe require sterility and others may not. However, it is possible that patient contamination could occur if a non-sterile Button Probe is used in clinical applications where aseptic technique is required. The device's labeled in part: " TRAXTAL PERCUNAV...(1) Button Probe Right hand version, 25mm...Traxtal Inc...49 Spadina Avenue, Suite 310 Toronto, ON Canada M5V 2J1...Made In Canada...www.traxtal.com...STERILE...For use with Traxtal's PercuNav system only. Do not use if package is opened or damaged. Dispose of safely after single use to avoid risk of infection...Rx only...Use immediately after opening unit package. Store at room temperature".

The protective cover over the tip of the MP008R-B Button Probe may fall off, causing the probe tip to damage the packaging and compromise the sterility of the probe.
