At Swiss Diagnostics Ethiopia (SDE), bringing “Swiss-standard” precision to our patients means constantly evolving our technical capabilities. We are proud to announce the successful completion of an intensive training program for our staff, conducted by iLSA experts Eric SALLEN and Christophe Sauvage, focusing on the revolutionary Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) technology.Leading with clarity, purpose, and impact requires investing in both the world’s finest machinery and the elite training required to master it.
Committed to the Future of Women’s Health SDE remains a steadfast pioneer in the journey to modernize the national diagnostic landscape. We continue to bring the frontiers of medical science "home," ensuring that excellence is the standard for every patient, every time.
Transforming the Conventional PAP Test: The iDC 20 Advantage
The introduction of the iDC 20 platform at SDE represents a quantum leap in diagnostic accuracy for cervical cancer screening and cytology. By moving beyond traditional methods, we are ensuring a higher standard of care through:
- Automated Precision: The iDC 20 automates spreading operations, virtually eliminating the risk of human error and ensuring absolute consistency in every slide.
- Advanced Centrifugation & Turbidity Reading: Utilizing a sophisticated double- centrifugation process and integrated turbidity sensors, the system produces a perfectly homogeneous, monolayer spread.
- Superior Diagnostic Clarity: The resulting monolayer slides provide our pathologists with a clear, unobstructed view of cells, significantly improving the detection of precancerous
- High-Throughput Efficiency: With the ability to process 20 samples simultaneously, the iDC 20 ensures faster turnaround times for patients and clinicians across Ethiopia.
Empowered by Global Expertise
We extend our deepest gratitude to Eric SALLEN and Christophe Sauvage for sharing their world-class expertise with our laboratory team. This hands-on training ensures that SDE remains a center of excellence, where advanced French engineering meets Ethiopian clinical dedication.
By mastering LBC technology, our team is now better equipped to provide the definitive diagnostic answers that save lives.
“The fight against cancer is won through early and accurate detection. With the iDC 20 and LBC technology, we are giving Ethiopian women access to the most reliable screening tools available globally.”
