AES Support Warthog User Trials
The AES Machine Care Plus® fluid sampling and analysis service is supporting Warthog User Trials currently being conducted at the British Army’s Armoured Trials and Development Unit (ATDU) in Dorset.
Warthog is an armoured, amphibious, all-terrain tracked vehicle with a Caterpillar C7 engine generating 350bhp at 2,400rpm and an Allison MD 3500 fully automatic transmission. It is also fitted with front and rear axles, an integrated transfer box and track system final drive units.
The British Army has procured more than 100 Warthog vehicles under Urgent Operation Requirement procedures.
Interfacing: Winpath Interface Developed
AES Medical are pleased to announce that the development of the interface between the pathology reporting system, PathoSys® and the CliniSys Winpath system is now complete. This will enable AES Medical to provide Winpath users with Cancer Dataset Reporting and Information Management that meets the standards set by the Royal College of Pathologists and NHS Cancer Standards.
Compatible from the latest version of Winpath 5 onwards the interface will be Beta tested at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Gateshead which purchased PathoSys® as part of the NEwPath (North East wide Pathology) network.
Following implementation at Gateshead the interface will be rolled out to the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust which recently procured PathoSys®.
Endometrial Dataset
PathoSys® has been updated to provide the latest Royal College of Pathologists Endometrial Cancer dataset. The dataset was released for consultation in November and is due for release in 2010.
AES Medical users keen to take the latest version have requested to be updated prior to this to take advantage of the latest guidelines as soon as possible.
To this end, AES medical has implemented the draft, alongside feature requests from our users and will reflect any final changes upon publication in a future minor update.
Endometrial Dataset Published

AES Medical agrees landmark deal with CliniSys
Following the NEwPath procurement for PathoSys® AES Medical has agreed a deal to facilitate the development of the interface between the CliniSys Winpath LIMS and PathoSys®. This allows us to offer to Winpath users the same advanced functionality already enjoyed by CILMS, Apex, Telepath and LabCentre users.
This landmark deal between AES Medical and CliniSys marks the start of the development and deployment of the interface between our PathoSys® system and Winpath. The deal sees us initially purchase several interfaces (which may be for Winpath or LabCentre) at a discounted rate from those bought individually.
AES Medical already have contracts signed for Gateshead Heath NHS Foundation Trust(Winpath) and South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust (LabCentre) and the first two interfaces will be installed at these sites as part of the NEwPath PathoSys® rollout.
PathoSys® Expands
Continued growth….
Following design and development in concert with recognised specialists, AES Medical Ltd has integrated four new cancer site modules into the latest development version of PathoSys®.
These modules will shortly be available to all current users to trial in their training environments and to new PathoSys® customers.
The new PathoSys® modules:
- Central Nervous System
- Lymphoma – based on the RC Path dataset and expanded to cover additional test results.
- Ovarian – based on the latest RC Path dataset.
- Penile
This brings the total number of specimen types covered by PathoSys® to thirty three.
