MacroPATH combines ease of use and fast operation toexpedite and standardize digital descriptionas an integral part of the grossing workflow. Currently, operators often rely on various inadequate or manual tools, leading to time-consuming setups and impacting overall lab efficiency. In contrast, MacroPATH isalways ready to use: capturing pictures, and recording voice notes or videos is now effortless, thanks to the foot pedal and waterproof touchscreen that provide immediate access to all functions. Furthermore, MacroPATH seamlessly enables theacquisition and automatic storage of documentation into specific case ID folders, avoiding errors and ensuring a comprehensive chain of custody for each specimen. This standardized approach enhances accuracy and reliability, making the diagnostic report a perfect complement for Telepathology.
1.The sequence begins by entering the case ID through the barcode reader which automatically creates its dedicated folder.
2.By using the built-in foot pedal, the operator can easily zoom in and out, take images and record videos.
3.The operator can edit images to estimate sizes and areas, add notes or create sections and quadrants.
High Resolution Camera
Digitalized Grossing Documentation
MacroPATH is a comprehensive tool designed to provide digital documentation of the grossing of surgical specimens and biopsies. It utilizes abuilt-in high-resolution camerato capture images and videos of the biospecimen and its dissection at exceptional quality. Additionally, the instrument features a microphone for recording voice notes and asuite of sizing and editing toolsfor images and videos, as well as for creating reports. MacroPATH is an all-in-one platform for integrated and efficient documentation of the grossing process.
Flexible Set-up
MacroPATH offers flexible installation options to suit the needs of different labs. It can beused as a stand-alone systemnear the grossing areaor integrated as a complementary component into any grossing station. Its versatility perfectly aligns with the modularity of the Milestone grossing station, UltraGROSS, allowing for the installation of the MacroPATH touchscreen terminal in either frontal or lateral positions, based on the specific requirements and preferences of the operator.
MacroPATH stand-alone
Enhanced Traceability
Thanks to the comprehensive documentation provided by MacroPATH, pathologists canreview images and videos of the grossing processduring embedding or microtomy, allowing them to intercept potential mismatches. MacroPATH is equipped withMileWATCH built-in, which enables full integration with LIS and PACS. Additionally, MileWATCH capabilities can be optionally extended to other Milestone units, allowing continuous tracking of specimen data from its collection until the embedding process, thereby providing a complete case history and comprehensive evidence.
Integration with LIS & PACS
The importance of creating comprehensive and accurate documentation directly aligns with the need for effective tools to share and archive information. As a result, MacroPATH, thanks to the built-in MileWATCH, is integrated with LIS and PACS through various protocols, includingDICOM, HL7, TWAIN and WIA,ensuring the highest level of compliance with key standards.
