The BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler Intelligent Pap Imaging™ directs attention to slides most likely to contain abnormality. |
 |
| According to independent studies: |
1/3 of Pap smear false negatives are caused by screening and interpretive errors in which abnormal cells are incorrectly classified.1,2
|
The BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler prioritizes slides based on likelihood of abnormality to help cytotechnologists reduce false negatives.

The BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler uses multiple algorithms to assign a score (0.0 to 1.0) to each slide based on the probability of abnormality.
|
This information is used to classify slides into ‘Review’ and ‘No Further Review’ (NFR) groups and then to rank Review slides into five quintiles (1= highest risk, 5=lowest risk) helping cytologists to understand the risk inherent in each slide. |
The Directed QC Technology™ provides Quality Control (QC) re-screening information to help the lab efficiently perform the CLIA mandated QC re-screen process in the lab. |
