Cautions and Notes Serious Incidents Reporting - Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the Aperio GT 450 DX shall be reported to the manufacturer and the competent authority of the member state in which the user and/or the patient is established.
15 racks, priority rack scanning, automated image quality check and a scan speed of ~32 seconds at 40x scanning magnification for a 15 mm x 15 mm area. The Aperio GT 450 DX was designed to fit into your network environment and offer the best in security and performance.
This guide is intended for laboratory administrators, IT managers, and anyone else responsible for managing the Aperio GT 450 DX on their facility network. For general information on how to use the scanner, refer to the Aperio GT 450 DX User’s Guide.
Aperio GT 450 DX Specifications - Detailed specifications on the Aperio GT 450 DX. Log Into SAM DX After the Aperio GT 450 DX is installed and configured, the next step is to use the Scanner Administration Manager DX (SAM DX) to manage the Aperio GT 450 DX scanners and users.
IT network failure may lead to delay in diagnosis/prognosis until the network is restored. Aperio GT 450 DX Architecture The Aperio GT 450 DX was designed with IT ease of use and security in mind. It is integration-ready for your image and data management system (IDMS), an LIS, and other networked systems.
These are the major components of the Aperio GT 450 DX and SAM DX system: Aperio GT 450 DX - One or more Aperio GT 450 DX scanners can be connected to a SAM DX server through the network. Each SAM DX server can support multiple scanners.
Chapter 2: Aperio GT 450 DX Network Architecture Aperio GT 450 DX Recommended Network Configuration This section describes the recommended way to connect your Aperio GT 450 DX in your IT environment for optimal performance. Aperio GT 450 DX Scanner Image Data...
(The illustration above displays only some of the available settings.) Most or all of the settings on this page will be configured for you by a Leica Biosystems representative when the scanner is installed. However, you may be asked to check the settings during a troubleshooting procedure.
Scanner Configuration Settings The settings on these pages will be configured for you by a Leica Biosystems representative when the scanner is installed. However, you may be asked to check the settings during a troubleshooting procedure. You may also need to change settings if there are changes to your network that impact one or more of the communication settings.
(A regular expression, regex or regexp, is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern. For example, \d{6} specifies that a barcode with six digits in a row will be used. If you are not familiar with regular expressions, contact Leica Biosystems Technical Support for assistance.)
Click Save to return to the list of PINs. Enabling DICOM Image Output The Aperio GT 450 DX has the ability to output image files in either SVS or DICOM format. (.SVS image file format is the default.) You can use SAM DX to enable DICOM output for specific scanners.
Refer to the table below for instructions on how to display scanner and system settings. In many cases you cannot modify these settings, but Leica Biosystems Technical Support may ask you for the information during troubleshooting or maintenance procedures. Some settings can only be seen by users with the Lab Admin role.
PIN Management Leica Support Role This is a protected role, and cannot be assigned to users. This role (which has a user name of Leica Admin) cannot be deleted from the system. It is used by Leica Support Representatives for troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair functions, and also provides the ability to add and delete scanners from the system.
CIS (Center for Internet Security) benchmarks. The Aperio GT 450 DX scanner and SAM DX are not intended to store sensitive data, only to export/upload data to connected applications on separate network servers. The connection between the Aperio GT 450 DX scanner and the SAM DX server is authenticated through an encrypted, secure SSL/TLS connection.
Data at rest is protected by encryption. However, due to limitations of the operating system, Private Health Information (PHI) data cannot be protected in transit. Leica Biosystems recommends that you protect data in transit by using SSL with strong security protocols such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) or network-level encryption such as IPSec or SSH tunneling.
Software Bills of Materials for Aperio GT 450 DX and SAM DX. Support and Cybersecurity Patches Note that technical support and cybersecurity patches for the Aperio GT 450 DX and Aperio SAM DX may not be available after the product lifetime as defined in the Aperio GT 450 DX User’s Guide.
This appendix provides causes and solutions for problems related to the SAM DX server and related components. It also provides common troubleshooting procedures that may need to be performed by the Aperio GT 450 DX lab administrator. For general troubleshooting information for the scanner operator, refer to the Aperio GT 450 DX User’s Guide.
Appendix B: Summary of Scanner Setting and Configuration Options Scanner Configuration Use the following table to gather the information you will need for each scanner on the system. After the Leica Support Representative installs your scanner, you may want to record the settings for future reference.
