A. Slides with scores below the primary threshold can be archived with no further review
B.Slides with scores above the primary threshold are reviewed by cytotechnologists
C.Slides with scores above the QC threshold are re-screened by cytotechnologists
 
  • As each slide is scanned by the BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler, two algorithms rank each slide based on abnormality.
  • Slides that are designated as Review are prioritized based on the risk for abnormality to aid the Cytotechnologist and the Pathologist in diagnosis and quality control.
BD FocalPoint™ Workflow
  • BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler uses proprietary imaging algorithms to detect both glandular and squamous abnormalities.
  • BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler identifies at least 15% of all successfully processed slides for a Directed QC Technology™, satisfying CLIA 88 QC Re-screen guidelines.
  • The QC review slides are subject to 3 screening events to reduce the potential of false-negatives: BD FocalPoint™ screen, Cytotechnologist screen, and QC re-screen.
