Celerus Diagnostics Demonstrates Unique and Timely Benefits of Wave System.Company Plays a Role at Two National Meetings CARPINTERIA, Calif. -- With a message of improved patient care, reduced health care costs and greater lab efficiencies, Celerus Diagnostics participated at society meetings in California and Texas in the month of April. The breakthrough technology of the Celerus Wave[TM] System, displayed at the American College American College is the name of:
IHC Intermountain Health Care IHC Inner Hair Cells IHC International Harvester Company IHC Internet Healthcare Coalition IHC Indian Head Cent IHC Interactive Health Communication IHC International Hurricane Center ) results in 15 minutes. "The Wave System provides diagnostic information previously not available in real-time," said Jason Lusk, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "The surgeon, pathologist and oncologist now have the ability to make crucial treatment decisions with an earlier diagnosis. Implications to healthcare costs can be significant, but for the patient and their family, an earlier diagnosis means so much more." The annual meeting of Mohs surgeons included two independent physician-groups presenting on the utility of Rapid IHC[TM] in an intraoperative Mohs surgery Mohs surgery (mōz), n.pr a surgical technique used primarily in the treatment of skin neoplasms, especially basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma. . Mohs surgery is used to remove cancerous tissue from aesthetically sensitive areas such as the eyelids eyelids, n.pl a moveable fold of thin skin over the eye. The orbicularis oculi muscle and the oculomotor nerve control the opening and closing of the eyelid. , nose, ears and lips. Small sections of tissue are taken and evaluated for clear margins (no disease), in order to preserve as much disease-free tissue as possible. One group utilized the Wave System to interpret the margins and concluded that the Mohs procedure was enhanced with the rapid and consistent diagnostic information provided. "By improving efficiencies and current methods (with an adjunctive test such as Rapid IHC[TM]), the need for repeat surgery is eliminated in some cases, and this has a direct impact on the patient and costs," Lusk said. At the American Society of Breast Surgeons, intraoperative applications for surgical breast procedures with the Wave System were introduced. "It was exciting to display the Wave System at this meeting," said Patrick O'Rourke, Celerus Diagnostics Area Manager attending the society's 10th annual gathering. "There was significant interest in intraoperative assessment of sentinel lymph nodes Sentinel lymph node The first lymph node to receive lymph fluid from a tumor. If the sentinel node is cancer-free, then it is likely that the cancerous cells have not metastasized. Mentioned in: Vulvar Cancer in patients with breast carcinoma."
