Sharing some information with you on the new Imagyst in house fecal analyzer.
https://www.vetscanimagyst.com
The New In-House Fecal Analyzer uses the fecal centrifugation method to bring clinical pathology to the point of care. The IMAGYST recognizes through Artificial Intelligence, parasite eggs/cyst and oocysts of Hookworms, Roundworms, Whipworms, Coccidia, Tapeworms and Giardia.
IMAGYST empowers veterinarians to diagnose and treat in the same visit, increasing compliance and eliminating follow-up calls and appointments.
The IMAGYST system is composed of 3 elements
1. Sample preparation device
2. Automated scanner
3. Data analysis by Artificial intelligence
You said that you were a tech and interested in ease of use and workflow. Here’s how it would look for a clinic:
- A tech takes 1 gram of feces and centrifuges it for 2 minutes. The sample prep time with our specific collection device a total of 3.5 minutes.
- The sample is placed onto a slide. This slide is specific as it allows for two optimal depths for parasite detection and for a complete scan.
- The tech can walk away and allow the IMAGYST to incorporate its AI usually taking around 10 min depending on the internet speed. The deep-learning objective detection algorithm with the specialized fecal sample preparations provided a fecal examination result with images in 15 minutes while only taking up 5 minutes of the tech’s time.
- The IMAGYST automatic scanning and AI reduces the time needed to complete a fecal floatation and allows techs to focus on the patients. As well as provides images to increase compliance of pet owners.
