PiSmart cassette Printer

 

Average Rating 4.0

Application Area:

Histopathology

Overall, I love our new PiSmart printer, and it is providing the efficiency that was needed. It has been an adjustment working out the differences from our old cassettes. These cassettes are smaller but with the right lens paper or sponge combination, I finally have a rhythm. In the future when making a sales pitch, make sure to find out what tissues they submit, physically look at the equipment being potentially replaced, and take notes of what they need.

Private laboratory setting

I wanted to say we recently started using our PI Print smart cassette printers we did have some initial problems in the beginning but Jonas and Adam had been great about addressing our problems and concerns. we had an older printer that was on the service contract which started giving us issues and Statlab overnighted us a loaner printer with all of configurations so all we and to do was plug and play resume working without missing a beat. Overall i would give it 5 stars for service. Thanks again to Adam and Jonas for helping us get everything working perfectly.

Application NoteClinical Diagnostics

Why choose on-demand printing over batch printing?

In pathology labs, even small labeling errors can have serious consequences for patient safety. A study conducted by Henry Ford Hospital revealed that traditional batch printing and hand labeling can result in significant mislabeling rates—21% for slides and 5.7% for cassettes. However, by transitioning to on-demand printing, these errors were dramatically reduced by 95% for slides and 3.5% for cassettes.

In this application note, Statlab explains how the StatLab PiSmart Cassette and Slide Printers are designed to minimize human error, improve efficiency, and enhance traceability in your lab.

By integrating on-demand printing into your workflow, you can:

  • Reduce mislabeling errors and improve patient safety
  • Streamline workflow efficiency with faster, automated processes
  • Simplify staff training with an easy-to-use interface
  • Enhance documentation by updating SOPs, work instructions, and checklists
  • Improve tracking and connectivity with LIS integration and PathSmart software
