R-Tracker is an innovative tracking system that replaces the manual scanning of all rack’s cassettes through the complete automation of this process. Compatible with Milestone’s racks, it guarantees accurate and reliable traceability in just a few seconds.
With R-Tracker the operator can reduce the tracking time to 15 seconds for 70 standard cassettes. This rapid and automatic scanning saves a great amount of time, thereby enhancing the laboratory workflow so that the operator’s skills can be used for other tasks.
Manual cassette scanning is a time-consuming and error-prone process, as operators need to manually scan the cassettes one by one.
Through unique and innovative technology, R-Tracker automatically scans all the cassettes present in the rack, providing accurate data on the number of cassettes and their corresponding codes. The user-friendly interface enables the tracking of specimens data with just one click.
Simultaneous and accurate counting and scanning is guaranteed through a double-sensor technology that checks the presence of the cassette and its corresponding code. At the completion of each scan, R-Tracker shows a comprehensive tracking overview with the number of cassettes and codes detected and potential warning messages in case of mismatched and/or duplicate codes. A laser pointer also indicates their exact position in the basket.
R-Tracker is integrated with MileWATCH software for monitoring and tracking the specimens, thus creating complete and easily accessible documentation. In addition, all data acquired can be easily shared with the Laboratory Information System (LIS) to better improve specimens’ chain of custody.
