VANTAGE SYSTEM USER GUIDE 2.5 2000600EN Rev R Page 7

4 Welcome

The VENTANA VANTAGE system is a workflow solution that leverages Lean Sigma principles to improve sample

identification, enhance sample tracking, integrate quality reporting, and utilize informatics for greater visibility into

the histology workflow.

About the VANTAGE system

The VENTANA VANTAGE system is a browser-based application that is housed on a standard file server in your

facilities IT department. The VANTAGE system has been tested to be reliable and easily accessible.

The VANTAGE system consists of multiple interfaces – Touchscreen workstations and Web Portal modules – that

provide functions which integrate the overall histology process.

Use of the VANTAGE system facilitates the following:

 Positive patient identification and specimen/block/slide tracking from Accessioning through Archive location

administration.

 Processing samples at Grossing, Tissue Processing, Embedding, Microtomy and Case Assembly workstations.

 Printing human-readable information and bar-coded specimen identifiers onto the front of tissue cassettes

using a variety of different cassette marking devices.

 Printing slide labels with human-readable information, bar-coded staining system and specimen identifiers.

 Creating virtual Specimen Tracking locations – configurable for each facility’s process – to which samples may

be tracked for enhanced chain-of-custody information and overall process visibility.

 Archival management and retrieval of blocks and slides.

 Real-time entry of configurable, paperless QA/QC issues and station-to-station special instructions.

 Real-time informatics displays of quality productivity and process metrics.

 Reporting quality assurance and sample-handling data for regulatory compliance purposes.

VENTANA VANTAGE Slide Labels have been extensively validated to ensure compatibility with VENTANA staining

instruments. The labels that are created through a combination of the VANTAGE Slide Label (PN 05524997001),

the VANTAGE Slide Label Ribbon (PN 05523583001) and the VANTAGE Clear Overlay (PN 05525276001) are

very robust to the histology staining, handling and archival processes. The use of the VANTAGE Clear Overlay is

recommended when running slides on BenchMark instruments. When the Clear Overlay is not used on BenchMark

instruments there is risk of inconsistent staining results. Refer to the relevant assay kit’s instructions for appropriate

controls.
