# ProGrade

Get the most out of your ProGrade media, with Health Check and Sanitize. Keep track of the remaining lifespan of your media cards by periodically doing a Health Check. Regularly sanitizing your media ensures your cards perform at their maximum capabilities.

{% hint style="info" %}
Not all cards support sanitizing; Check for the `R` logo on the label.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
This integration is **incompatible** with the PG04 reader, or the CFexpress Type A card.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

You'll find the `Check Health...` and `Sanitize` options in the hamburger menu for ProGrade disks.

## How to use

1. Open OffShoot > Settings > Integration.
2. Ensure ProGrade Integration is enabled.
3. Connect your Refresh-enabled ProGrade reader and card.
4. Right-click (or use the disk menu) to access:
   * Check Health…
   * Sanitize...

## Health Check

`Check Health...` determines whether the memory card is healthy, should be used cautiously, or replaced.

## Sanitizing

During sanitization:

* The media will unmount.
* Once complete, it will remount with the card's original name.
* The card will be labeled as `New` and ready for use.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Sanitizing will permanently erase all data stored on it. You cannot undo this action.
