EuroProbe3 | Mirion Technologies (Capintec), Inc.

Description

The EuroProbe3 has been specifically designed to meet the most demanding protocols of surgeons or nuclear medicine physicians working in the surgical suite or nuclear medicine department. It provides precise detection and localization of radiopharmaceuticals during intraoperative surgical procedures such as sentinel lymph node mapping for breast cancer and melanoma, parathyroid protocols and the detection of malignancies using PET radiopharmaceuticals.

EuroProbe3 is unsurpassed in its ability to detect a wide range of isotopes. Its elegant design and simplicity – the result of utilizing the most advanced microprocessor technology in the design of the control module, offers a user-friendly ‘one button activation’ protocol – nothing could be easier!

The EuroProbe3 provides the ultimate in flexibility and choice. Choose from a wide variety of wired ergonomically designed probes that are compact, lightweight and easy to handle – or – for enhanced operational flexibility, choose EuroProbe3’s state-of-the-art Blue Tooth Probe – the wireless alternative for radio-guided surgical procedures with an energy range of 100 keV to 1 MeV for protocols utilizing Tc-99m, In-111, I-131 or F-18.

The EuroProbe3 control module can be used in the automatic mode or each setting and function can be individually set to meet the most demanding and precise protocol requirements. Additionally, it allows a choice of display setting including the extra large digital display and/or the two analog displays located on the upper section of the control unit for a crystal-clear view of all information during the surgical procedure.

The EuroProbe3 incorporates powerful performance capabilities and features. It is reliable, accurate, compact, easy-to-use and transport and includes a built in carrying handle and integrated probe holder.
