BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler produced slide information, FOV coordinates and cell images
from the central database are transferred to the BD FocalPoint™ GS Review Station. The
cytotechnologist uses the automated re-location capability of the BD FocalPoint™ GS Review
Station to evaluate the pre-selected FOVs.
2.2.1 BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler Slide Information
The BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler processes slides and transmits slide information data to a
central server that can be retrieved at the BD FocalPoint™ GS Review Station. When the
cytotechnologist reviews a slide at the BD FocalPoint™ GS Review Station the slide information
is presented. It is important to understand the significance of this information in the workflow
process.
