 Portable Whole Slide 

Image Scanner

Grundium Ocus® is an In Vitro diagnostic Medical Device

Grundium Ocus® is a professional imaging instrument for digitizing 
microscope slides. The device is used in in vitro diagnostics, which aims 
to gather information about the physiological or pathological state of 
the patient based on the specimens derived from the human body. 
The device produces image data, which medical professionals can use 

as input information when making patient diagnosis or therapeutic 
measures.

1. Before you start

Check the carrying case for damages. If you notice any damage on the 
case or the scanner, contact 

support@grundium.com

.

Note: 

More detailed user guide can be found in www.grundium.com.

Remove the transportation support pin from the bottom of the scanner 
by turning the pin counter-clockwise. Remember to handle the scanner 
carefully to avoid dropping or damaging it and avoid leaving fingerprints 
on the glass surfaces or lenses while removing the pin.

Important Notice: 

The functionality of the scanner must 

be verified every time before critical operation. The scanner 
intended usage flow, including the connectivity, scanning and 
exporting, must be verified. It must be verified that the user’s 
equipment produces slides suitable for scanning with Ocus®. 
Image quality must be verified with known sample. Also, there 
must be a back-up solution for critical operations.

Remove the transportation support pin

Place the scanner on a flat surface and make sure there is at least 10 
centimeters (4 inches) free space around it.

Tip: 

To ensure safe transportation, screw the transportation support pin 

back in before moving the scanner to another location. Do not tighten 
the pin, turning it until it stops is enough.

Note: 

If the network you use has a firewall, make sure that the scanner 

is allowed to use the outgoing connection to the Internet. If the firewall 
uses a MAC filter, you can find the MAC address of the scanner on the 
label at the bottom of the scanner. Also, traffic between devices in the 
network must be allowed.

First use with a network cable connection 

1. Attach the power cable to the scanner and plug the cable in a wall 

outlet. The power button shows a breathing green light.

2. Connect one end of the network cable to the scanner and the other 

end to the Ethernet connector for your network.

3. Press the power button. The power button flashes red. Once the 

scanner is switched on and connected to the Internet, the power 
button shows a steady green light.

4. Open the browser in your computer or tablet and type the following 

in the browser’s address field: 

 http://mgu-XXXXX-XXXXXX.device.grundium.net. 

  Replace the X’s with the scanner’s serial number (eleven digits) found 

on the label at the bottom of the scanner or on the sticker attached 
to quick start guide.

5. Follow the instructions on your computer or tablet to register a new 

user account or to use an existing one. The account enables you to 
use the scanner.

You can also create a new team. A team enables you to share the 
scanner with other team members. If you want to join an existing team, 
ask someone from the team to add you. See instructions for creating a 
new team in www.grundium.com.
