Merit Oncology - reduce the burden of female breast cancer and their families

Treatment of choice for patients with more localized solutions

SCOUT system has been clinically proven to promote value and improve the patient's therapeutic effect.SCOUT is proven can improve radiology work process and significantly reduce OR delay.Use the SCOUT, surgeons can pinpoint the affected tissue, its location within 1 mm, this means that the operation is more successful, optimize breast conservation strategies, and to improve the therapeutic effect of women.

How does SCOUT radar positioning work?

Introduction to SCOUT cart

Accurate and patients experience wireless positioning

To perform a biopsy of wireless positioning

Wireless location technology

And Dr. Rosen

The characteristics and advantages

85% of the radiologist reported better work process
97% of patients will be recommended to SCOUT
The cost of the each operation can save about $2300

detection

When using the reflector for biopsy to detect cancer
  • After testing, doctors and patients can choose placed reflector in biopsy
  • Can any time prior to surgery long-term implants placed reflector
  • Ultrasonic, radiographic, and stereotactic boot options are available to place the reflector

positioning

The boy scouts guide is smaller than a dime
  • Reflector to remain in situ and in a passive state, until the SCOUT guidelines for activation
  • Can be used to mark of soft tissue, including the lymph nodes
  • 4 mm size is smaller than a grain of rice
  • Antenna is made of super elasticity of nickel and titanium alloy, commonly used in medical equipment

identify

  • Real-time distance measurement60 mm detection range
  • 360 - degree detectionAccuracy of + / - 1 mm
  • recordReliability of 99.2%
  • Instant response to guide the anatomy of the path,To eliminate speculation
  • Visit guidelines allow SCOUTThrough a small incision

M.d., Ph.D., Brett Parkinson SCOUT reflector

"I'd like to say, ever since we started placing SCOUT reflector when biopsy, care has improved, in most cases, the biopsy and diagnostic mammogram on the same day.Compared with the traditional localization, before received wire localization of women commented that the process easier.They also love don't need to return to the breast center for biopsy, and then to locate the program.

A product, eliminating the two steps.Patient satisfaction is through the roof.Patients know what they are our breast care center for simplified care.I thank you very much Merit has developed a complete change care product."

Consistency and predictability

From the clinical manifestations of

Step 1: knowledge of preoperative planning

Step 1 - close to the preoperative planning

Accurately identify the tumor location and depth

  • 60 mm detection range2
  • Allow the beauty first incision
  • The actual distance measuring front allows real-time planning

Step 2: during the operation of real-time edge definition

Step 2: during the operation of real-time edge definition

Help to optimize the operation target

  • 360 ˚ detection, precision of plus or minus 1 mm2
  • Instant response to guide the anatomy of the path, eliminating speculation
  • The sample can be predicted with real-time edge definitions

Step 3: accurate sample verification

Step 3: accurate sample verification

Optimal guaranteed strategy

  • Confirm relative to the reflector position plan operation cut edge
  • When the patient supine accurate depth measurement

accuracy

IN DEPTH MEASUREMENT MATTERS
The SCOUT system’s true distance measurement overcomes challenges with mammography images when estimating tumor depth and location during supine surgical procedures, and allows surgeons to quickly identify location and depth of reflector.">In-depth measurement items
SCOUT system in the actual distance measurement to overcome the estimates in the process of lie on your back surgery tumor depth and position the challenge of breast X-ray photographic images, and allows the surgeon quickly identify the location of the reflector and depth.

Whatever imaging methods, SCOUT system can provide the largest visual flexibility.Shape provides unique radiation and ultrasound images of the reflector is insignificant clinical MRI artifacts.

SCOUT radar technology promoted the targeted axillary dissection of simplified;Even after the neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgeons can more easily identify the previous biopsy of lymph nodes

Wireless technology to compare

Dr Mary k. Hayes, shows a study published in the SCOUT reflector under MRI clarity compared to the other two kinds of wireless technologies on the market.6

Clinical data


research

Use SCOUT reflector to identify previously biopsy nodes significantly increased the probability of surgical removal of cancer incidence and then reduce the false negative

KEY RESULTS">The key results

  • Traditional SLNB removed only 47.4% (19) in nine biopsy of lymph nodes
  • The false negative rate = 33.3%
  • Using a SCOUT to identify and remove all nodes biopsy (19/19)
  • False negative rate = 0% (the best)
