4.3 - Site preparation prior to installation
Make space available within the cut up area of a Histopathology Laboratory. We
recommend that this device is used over a down draft extraction cut up bench.
The dimensions of the device are 346mm x 145mm x 195mm. Please ensure that
sufficient space is allowed around the instrument for ease of use.
4.4 - Bringing into operation
The device will be set up prior to despatch, but it will be recommended to cut a few
test slices to ensure accuracy of the system. When taking the test slices please ensure
the system is set onto a flat and even surface. If the system is not within tolerance of
±1mm then please set up according the following instructions:
Step 1: Turn on the digital rule.
Step 2: Insert a knife into the knife guide.
Step 3: Rotate the handle at the back in a clockwise direction to
bring the knife into contact with the back plate.
Step 4: When the knife is touching the back plate press the zero
button on the digital rule.
This completes the visual calibration of the system. Please refer to these instructions
should you wish to recalibrate.

5 - Theory of Operation
The basic principle of the technology used in this unit is a simple screw thread
mechanism. As the wheel is turned at the rear of the unit the knife guide moves
accordingly and the digital rule reads the displacement.
6 - Functions
The digital rule has several buttons.
The units can be changed between mm and inches by pressing the blue button.
The digital rule can be turned on/off by pressing the red button.
The digital rule can be zeroed by pressing the yellow button.
7 - Performance of the IVD Instrument
The tolerance of the system is regarded as ±1mm.
If the maintenance instructions in section 14 are followed correctly the risk of cross
contamination should be minimal. Please ensure that all laboratory standards are
followed and blades are wiped down after every use.
8 - Limitations of Use
This device has been designed to use the CellPath MacroKnife
range of knives, other brands of knife may not fit in the guide
and could therefore, cause damage to the system.
9 - Preparation Prior to Operation
9.1 - Training
No official training will be required, although the user may feel it necessary to take a
few sample slices to get used to the device.

The materials the user will require to use the device correctly are listed below:
1 x TruSlice/ TruSlice Digital - 50mm Immobilisation Plate
1 x TruSlice Digital - 75mm Immobilisation Plate
1 x Suitable length knife (We recommend the 6 inch (150mm) trimming knife if
the user will use a guillotine motion, 10 inch (250mm) lung knife if the user
will use a slicing motion, the 8 inch (200mm) macro knife or the 12 inch
(300mm) brain knife could also be considered dependent upon the tissue size
and user preference).
Paper Towels
Access to running water for cleaning
9.3 - Ordering information for consumables
The plastic cutting insert on the system is a consumable and will wear with time
dependent upon how often the unit is used. Please note that this component can be

10 - Operating Procedure
Step 1: Turn the digital rule on.
Step 2: Rotate the handle at the rear of the unit until the digital rule
reads the required thickness of cut.
Step 3: Ensure that the specimen has a flat perpendicular face to begin
with, if the specimen does not it is advised that you cut a slice to
achieve this.
Step 4: Orientate the specimen on the bed correctly and place against the back wall.
Step 5: The use of the most appropriate sized immobilisation plate is recommended
for health and safety purposes as well as for stabilizing the tissue. Small specimens
could be held with forceps as this may provide the user more control than the use of
immobilisation plates.
Step 6: Insert the chosen size macroknife into the guide and slice in a single stroke
through the specimen.
Step 7: Remove the knife safely and place to the side of the system.
Step 8: Remove the slice of the sample that should be uniform thickness either place
to one side or place straight into the processing cassette.
Repeat this operation as many times as desired on each sample to produce a
selection of slices. Please ensure that you follow correct cleaning instructions after
use as stated in section 14.2.
When use of the system is complete turn off the digital rule.
11 - Control Procedure
Visual checks of sliced specimens can be used to validate the system. We recommend
that the visual checks are carried out by placing a UKAS calibrated ruler against the
sample and measuring the thickness of the slice.

If the specimen is incorrect thickness then please recalibrate the system according to
the operating procedure in section 6.4. We recommend setting the 'base'
measurement weekly to ensure accuracy with the cut.
A calibration set is sold separately; this will enable the user to calibrate the system to
UKAS standard which is in recommendation from ISO 15189.
12 - Shut-Down Procedure
12.1 - Switching it off
Please ensure that the digital rule is turned off by pressing the on/off button when
not in use to preserve battery life.
12.2 - Temporarily taking it out of operation
If the item will not be in use for a long time period we would recommend removing
the battery from the digital rule.
13 - Disposal Information
All accessories and knives should be disposed of in line with existing laboratory
disposal policies as well as local and national regulations.
14 - Maintenance
14.1 - Preventative maintenance
Not applicable.
14.2 - Instructions for cleaning
The device should be wiped down after each specimen. The base can be removed
easily from the system to allow the user to place under running water and apply soap.
This should be wiped thoroughly.
