Research summary
This study is sponsored by SamanTree Medical SA, the manufacturer of the Histolog Scanner, a medical imaging device used during surgery to examine tissue samples in real time. The study will collect information from hospitals already using the device as part of their normal care, to
understand how it performs in everyday medical practice. This is an
observational study, meaning it will not change how patients are treated.
Data will be collected only from routine care, with no additional
procedures or visits. At least 5,000 adult patients having a surgery or
medical procedure where the Histolog Scanner is used will be included.
The information gathered will help confirm the safety and effectiveness of the device, support continuous improvement, and contribute to long-term patient safety. Any hospital using the Histolog Scanner as intended can take part. The study will last around eight years, with optional follow-up of up to five years, depending on usual hospital practice.REC name
