MacroPATH

Category: VDO Milestone 1

Streamlined Workflow

MacroPATH combines ease of use and fast operation to expedite and standardize digital description as 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 is always 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 the acquisition 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.
 

 Digitalized Grossing Documentation

MacroPATH is a comprehensive tool designed to provide digital documentation of the grossing of surgical specimens and biopsies.
It utilizes a built-in high-resolution camera to capture images and videos of the biospecimen and its dissection at exceptional quality. Additionally, the instrument features a microphone for recording voice notes and a suite of sizing and editing tools for 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 be used as a stand-alone system near the grossing area or 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.
 

 Enhanced Traceability

Thanks to the comprehensive documentation provided by MacroPATH, pathologists can review images and videos of the grossing process during embedding or microtomy, allowing them to intercept potential mismatches. MacroPATH is equipped with MileWATCH 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, including DICOM, HL7, TWAIN and WIA, ensuring the highest level of compliance with key standards.
