The know error® system for prostate biopsies to be featured this week at the South Central Section of AUA's Annual Meeting

The know error® system for prostate biopsies is being showcased this week at the Annual Meeting of the South Central Section of the American Urological Association (AUA). The meeting is being held October 14-17, 2009, at the Camelback Inn, JW Marriott Resort, in Scottsdale, Arizona. Look for us at Booth #151 in the exhibit hall. 

Through the use of DNA Specimen Provenance Assignment (DSPA) and bar code technology, the know error® system brings new levels of safety and accuracy to the biopsy evaluation process. This innovative system dramatically reduces the incidence of Specimen Provenance Complications (SPC) enhancing patient safety and diagnostic accuracy.

The know error® system uncovers SPCs by matching tissue from a positive biopsy result to a reference sample taken from the patient via a simple cheek swab to confirm that the tissue belongs to the patient. By performing DNA matching prior to treatment, the know error® system virtually eliminates diagnostic mistakes due SPC.
