Abstract
A medical instrument includes a shaft, one or more position sensors, a connector and interrogation circuitry. The shaft is configured for insertion into a body of a patient. The one or more position sensors are fitted at a distal end of the shaft. The connector is configured to receive a mating connector. The interrogation circuitry is configured to detect whether the mating connector is connected to the connector, and, if not connected, to prevent tracking a position of the distal end in the body using the one or more position sensors.
