1.2. Intended use
UltraGROSS is an ergonomic histopathology workstation dedicated to the preparation and cutting of pieces.
The table has a ventilation system and various optional parts that are defined in the following manual.
One or more cameras with MacroPATH software can be mounted on UltraGROSS (depending on the selected
model).
MacroPATH has been designed to carry out complete, safe and reliable image handling of gross histological
specimens.
The system has been designed for use in a laboratory and can therefore withstand the harshest laboratory
conditions (indoor use only).
UltraGROSS is a system that must be operated by trained personnel, such as: laboratory technicians and
pathologists.
MacroPATH's measurement function is strictly linked to the calibration performed by the
operator and is not controlled by the unit's software. That is why the measurements of the
specimen obtained with MacroPATH CANNOT be taken into account for diagnostic
purposes. These values are purely indicative.
Indeed, a ruler must be placed near the specimen (see image below) or a gauge must be used to
obtain a diagnostic value for the growth of the tumor, the extent of the lesion, etc.
The system must be calibrated in order to perform measurements with MacroPATH (refer to MM161
operator manual supplied with the unit).
