PathTracker – Bulk Barcode Scanner

Efficient Scanning with PathTracker

PathTracker replaces hand scanning of cassette and slides with the single push of a button. PathTracker incorporates patented technology to acquire, process, analyse and log all the barcodes in the field of view.

150 cassette processing baskets are scanned in less than 25 seconds, compared to 7.5 minutes for hand scanning. Slide indexes are completed in less than 10 seconds vs 1 minute 20 seconds for hand scanning.

Scanning in 6 Simple Steps 

More than a Barcode Scanner 

The PathTracker Workflow Modeler maps your institution’s histology processing steps, from sample container printing at outlying hospitals through to ‘in lab’ tasks and finally sample filing.

Once mapped, any step can be easily activated as a tracking waypoint. Items added to record attributes such as operator, courier used or processor program run expands the data recorded for more in-depth searches. 

Real-Time Sample Monitoring 

In addition to each sample scan, the Tracking Database also records an image of the actual scan, enabling PathTracker to actively monitor whether samples are missing or late to their next processing step. If a sample is detected missing or late, an electronic notification is shared with the operators and managers.

In addition to recording sample scans to its own database, PathTracker can be configured to post its results automatically to your LIS tracking module. 

Workflow Monitoring

PathTracker includes a Workflow Dashboard and Report Generator. These tools allow operators to monitor the overall workflow as well as track individual samples as necessary. 

• A visual overview of the sample load across the workflow 

• Searches for the current status as well as tracking history of individual samples 

• Data drill down on a particular waypoint or cohort of samples for workload analysis 

• Reporting based on search criteria such as scan date range or waypoints traversed
