Benefits

  Benefits to labs   Operational Benefits
  		• Addresses key sources of error and cost, such as observer fatigue and visual habituation, variability in screening techniques, high complexity of cell morphology and rarity of abnormal cells.
  		• Provides laboratory with complete control of work flow and quality, as entire system is located on-site with remote interface capabilities.
  		• Automatically evaluates and ranks slides by likelihood of abnormality.
  		• Provides a complete turnkey system with built-in quality control checks for reliable and accurate results.

  • Enables laboratory to concentrate on the 75% of slides most likely to contain abnormal cells while potentially archiving the remaining 25% as NILM. (optional capability).
  		• Directed QC Technology™ exceeds U.S. Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment 1988 Quality Control requirement to Re-screen a minimum of 10% of slides initially classified as NILM.

  • Helps focus cytotechnologist efforts on slides truly requiring human review.
  		• May be operated by a laboratory assistant. Offers the convenience of unattended operation.
  		• Embodies the expertise of experienced Cytopathologists and Cytotechnologists.
  		• Automatically generates customizable work lists and slide sorting instructions; provides summaries of results, alerts (flagging inadequate samples), and archiving information.
  		• Potential to increase laboratory output and widen patient access to screening. BD FocalPoint™ slide profiler
