The objective of the procurement is to procure one high capacity scanner for digital pathology for routine scanning of histological tissue section at the Pathology Department, St. Olavs Hospital HF. The procured scanner system shall support effective and secure digitalisation of tissue glass for use in clinical routine diagnostics, including primary diagnostics carried out by pathology, as well as for image analysis, research, development projects and work with artificial intelligence (KI). The scanner system shall be suitable for continual operation in a high volume laboratory and it shall be able to carry out automated and unmanned batch scanning during nights and weekends. The system shall contribute to a low operational load for laboratory personnel through a high degree of automation, stability and efficient work flow, at the same time that manual and semi-automatic scanning is required. The scanner system shall be able to be integrated with the Contracting Authority ́s existing digital pathology system (Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution – PIPS), as well as support relevant open standards for further use of image data in an analysis and research context. The system shall also enable flexible handling and storing of image files suitable for different purposes, including clinical operation and project/research use. There is no need for fluorescent scanning or scanning glass with particularly large formats beyond standard histological object glass. The scanner system shall be designed for practical and intuitive use in a routine laboratory, with an efficient and predictable work flow. See the Requirement Specifications and the Price Form for further details.
