About VistaPath Sentinel
The sample container and cassette are placed into the Sentinel, where an image of the tissue and the container label is taken. The Sentinel continuously checks the container and cassettes being used to guarantee specimens can’t be mixed up. As the tissue is transferred into the cassette, the Sentinel locates, measures and captures an image of each piece of tissue. A gross report is automatically generated using the laboratory’s own template. The technician approves the report and it’s transferred to the patient’s record. The Sentinel will automatically locate, measure and image tissue as it’s placed into the cassette, all in under a second. Measurements are more accurate and consistent than from technicians. Print beautiful, full-color reports that provide the gross description, patient and clinician information and images of the container, container label and cassette.
