Fina

Fully automated block traceability and archiving

The Fina system is a new and innovative approach to storing and retrieving tissue blocks. It delivers improved workflow in the anatomic pathology lab, precision retrieval of tissue blocks to accelerate case turnaround time, and improved patient safety.

SAFETY

Eliminates the risk of misplaced or lost samples. Facilitates chain-of-custody and traceability for tissue blocks

SPEED

Reduces time and labor associated with manually sorting, filing and retrieving tissue blocks. Reduces wasted time associated with searching for missing blocks

WORKFLOW

Advances lean workflow in the AP lab by reducing touch points and wait points associated with block archival and retrieval. Enables reallocation of lab resources towards more value-added activities

Customer profile

Patient safety is very important to me and being at a large institution and the type of cases we get, we are constant­ly going back to our blocks, whether it be for additional testing or research for a clinical trial, and being able to locate them in a timely manner and track them is the most important thing for me. In just minutes, the Fina system scans hundreds of blocks and records their exact location -from the position in the tray to the final storage point (zone) in a laboratory’s on or offsite archive.

Customer profile

Before adopting the Dreampath systems, we were spending over 20,000 hours per year managing blocks and slides. With Fina and Crystal we saved over 15,000 hours per year. That allowed us to redeploy seven FTEs toward more valuable activities.

Hydra

Hydra
Hydra

Preprocessing traceability for all tissue samples

The Hydra system improves patient safety and workflow in the anatomic pathology lab by advancing sample chain-of-custody. Hydra works with any size/shape tissue processor basket, making it a universal solution.

SAFETY

Mitigates the risk of misplaced samples, pre and post processing. Protects lab staff through active ventilation and filtration of formalin fumes. Facilitates chain-of-custody and traceability throughout the AP lab; communicates with Fina for sample reconciliation.

SPEED

Saves time by reading cassette barcodes in batches (<3 seconds) rather than individually scanning each cassette. Eliminates wasted time with manually counting cassettes.

WORKFLOW

Accommodates all tissue processor basket shapes and sizes to fit any lab workflow. Provides insights and intelligence to improve lab workflow

Customer profile

I like it a lot. It is a brilliant bit of kit! It is the way forward.
