The know error® system for prostate biopsies is being showcased at the Annual Meeting of the Large Urology Group Practice Association (LUGPA). The meeting is being held November 6-7, 2009, at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, IL. For more information on this meeting, visit www.lugpa.org.
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 dramactically 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 to SPC.
