1.2. Designated uses
The eGROSS pro-x/eGROSS is an ergonomic histopathology work station dedicated to the preparation and
cutting of pieces. The table is equipped with a ventilation unit and various optional parts, as defined in this
manual.
The eGROSS pro-x comes equipped with a camera with MacroPATH software.
The MacroPATH has been designed to obtain images of histological samples, as well to ensure their complete,
safe and reliable handling.
The system has been conceived for laboratory use and can therefore withstand the harshest laboratory
conditions (indoor use only).

The MacroPATH's measurement function is strictly linked to the calibration performed by
the operator, and is not controlled by the unit's software. For this reason, the measurements
of the sample obtained with MacroPATH CAN NOT be taken into account for diagnostic
purposes. These values are purely indicative.
In fact, a ruler must be placed near the sample (see the image below) or else a gauge must be used
to obtain a diagnostic value for the growth of the tumour, the extent of the lesion, etc.
The system must be calibrated in order to perform measurements with MacroPATH (please refer to chapter
3 for the calibration procedure).
Power supply line needs to have a ground connection (Class I device).
Power line protection:
115V version: Miniature circuit breaker curve C, 15A, residual current device: 30mA.
230V version: Miniature circuit breaker curve C, 10A, residual current device: 30mA.
