Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Histolog Scanner is a confocal optical imaging device designed for high-resolution, digital imaging of tissue specimens. It enables rapid visualization of histological features, supporting real-time assessment and decision-making in pathology, particularly in gastroenterology and urology.
The device is supplied as a combination of hardware and software, intended for use in clinical or laboratory settings. It requires single-use fluorescent histological stains for imaging fresh excised human tissue, preserving specimen integrity for further pathological analysis. Authorized under FDA 510(k) and IVDR, it operates as a Class II medical device and is not MRI-compatible. Storage and handling follow standard sterile or non-sterile protocols as specified in the instructions for use.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What clinical specialties is the Histolog Scanner primarily intended to support in real-time tissue assessment?
The Histolog Scanner is designed to support real-time assessment in gastroenterology and urology, enabling high-resolution imaging of tissue specimens for immediate visualization of histological features. This helps pathologists and clinicians make faster decisions during procedures like biopsies, particularly in these specialties.
How is the Histolog Scanner supplied, and what additional consumables are required for operation?
The Histolog Scanner is supplied as a combination of hardware (version 2.4) and software (version 3.3). To operate, it requires single-use fluorescent histological stains for imaging fresh excised human tissue, as these stains are essential for preserving specimen integrity and enabling imaging. The device itself does not include consumables—only the stains are needed.
Is the Histolog Scanner reusable, or is it intended for single-use, and how should it be handled?
The Histolog Scanner is a reusable medical device, not single-use. However, the fluorescent histological stains used for imaging tissue are single-use consumables. Handling follows standard protocols for sterile or non-sterile devices as outlined in the instructions for use, depending on the intended application and workflow.
What regulatory pathways has the Histolog Scanner undergone, and what classification does it hold?
The Histolog Scanner has been authorized through FDA 510(k) clearance and IVDR (In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation) in the EU, classifying it as a Class II medical device. This means it has undergone rigorous review to ensure its safety and performance for clinical use in imaging tissue specimens.
Can the Histolog Scanner be used in an MRI environment, and what safety considerations should be noted?
The Histolog Scanner is not MRI-compatible, meaning it should not be used or stored in an MRI environment. This is explicitly noted in the device description, as MRI fields could potentially interfere with its electronic components or imaging accuracy. Always follow facility protocols for non-MRI-compatible equipment.
