The BD FocalPoint™ GS imaging system helps more accurately and efficiently screen BD SurePath™ Pap test slides and conventional Pap test slides.
The BD FocalPoint™ GS imaging system helps more accurately and efficiently screen BD SurePath™ Pap test slides and conventional Pap test slides.
The BD FocalPoint™ GS imaging system uses algorithms to determine potential abnormalities and rank slides accordingly.1
The system focuses attention on the slides most likely to contain abnormalities, improving screening efficiency.2
The system assists laboratory staff to better triage slides for further screening, increasing cancer detection and reducing the ASCUS rate.3
The technology enables you to select slides with the highest likelihood of abnormality for full slide review, improving the QC process and reducing the risk of missed disease.1
BD FocalPoint™ slide profiler
The option to eliminate reviewing up to 25% of the lowest-risk slides allows the cytologist to focus on the highest-risk slides.1
