BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler

Description

An intelligent Pap imaging system that prioritizes slides based on likelihood of abnormality.  Slides are classified into ‘Review’ and ‘No Further Review’ (NFR) groups and then Review slides divided into five quintiles (1= highest risk, 5=lowest risk) helping cytologists to understand the risk inherent in each slide.
