A joint paper with Kuma Hospital, one of the leading thyroid hospitals in Japan, was published in Endocrine Journal, a publication of the Japanese Endocrine Society.

According to this paper, 57.1% of the cases that were found to be inappropriate or unknown in the rapid adequacy assessment of thyroid gland by naked eyes were confirmed to have cells by using Mobile Rose and were considered appropriate.

The clinical utility of Mobile Rose has been shown to prevent unnecessary re-sampling.

March 26, 2021, “The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has announced that it will “support the challenges of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are willing to undertake drastic business restructuring, such as expansion into new fields, change of business category, change of business or industry, business restructuring, or expansion of scale through these initiatives.Our project using MOBILE ROSE (development and market deployment of MOBILE ROSE, the world’s first microscope that supports rapid on site evaluation) was adopted.

After the debut of our booth at the 59th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Clinical Cytology in 2020, we received requests from researchers who were very interested in ROSE to reserve a demo unit.

Mobile Rose was registered as controlled medical devices requiring special maintenance (12B2X10031000001) on April 26, 2021.

Mobile Rose was registered as a patent on April 14,
2021 under the title of Microscope Apparatus.

The Japanese Society of Clinical Cytology (JSCC) has issued the following recommendations regarding ROSE in coronavirus pandemic.

1. In principle, the presence of COVID-19 infection itself does not preclude the use of ROSE, but it may be used only when the advantages from a medical standpoint outweigh the disadvantages, and when adequate protection can be provided.

2. In principle, the tests should be conducted when there is adequate reserve for protective clothing, and when it is necessary to conduct the tests immediately.

3. In municipalities where a state of emergency has been declared, consideration should be given to suspending the implementation of non-urgent cases in order to limit the flow of people.
