Meet the BD FocalPoint™ GS Imaging System
Taking Pap testing to a different level
Performance
- Statistically significant increases in disease detection over the manual screening method1
- Directed QC technology™ flags up to 15% of highest ranked cases diagnosed as negative for additional review to assist in the reduction of false negative diagnoses1
- ‘No Further Review’ functionality enables triaging of up to 25% of lower ranked slides without the requirement for secondary screening
- Compared to manual screening, the BD FocalPoint™ GS Imaging System was associated with a 42% overall decrease in ASC / SIL ratio1, leading to more accurate diagnosis.
Percentage increase of BD FocalPoint™ GS Imaging System vs manual screening
SS, statistically significant.
Flexibility
- Automates imaging of both conventional cytology and
BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap test slide screening processes1 - Acceptance of a wide variety of laboratory preferred stains – No requirement for purchase of or additional training for imager specific stains
