EFINITIONS AND BBREVIATIONS
Slide Registration
The slide is registered to the microscope stage by aligning its fiducial marks with the mark indicator
stencil in the optical path. This functions to ensure that the OOI coordinates for the slide ID coincide
with the cells scanned on the Image Processor. The slide registration is established before and con-
firmed after automated slide review, to check that no drift has occurred during review.
Manual slide review aligns the edges of the cell spot with the mark indicator before and after screen-
ing to confirm slide registration.
Slide Reviewed Mark
A mark made on the surface of the slide by the object marker in semi-permanent ink. The slide
reviewed mark indicates the slide has undergone review at an RS.
®
A slide that has undergone Auto review has the mark placed on the top arc of the ThinPrep slide.
A slide that has undergone Manual review has the mark placed on the bottom arc of the ThinPrep
slide.
Subsequent Review
A slide that has undergone Auto Review at the Review Scope may be screened again, using the slide
data associated with that slide. In this Operator's Manual, subsequent review means additional
screenings of a slide, using the Auto Review mode, which is recorded on the server database. (Fur-
ther review of slides using the manual mode are not recorded to the server database.)
SV
Server. The computer that controls communication between the Imaging System components. It is
where all data such as user preferences, slide data records, system history logs are maintained.
ThinPrep Microscope Slide
®
A specific brand of glass microscope slide that must be used with the ThinPrep system of instru-
ments. The slide has features on it that enable automated registration of the slide with the Imaging
Station and the Review Scope.
Soft Keys

associated with the labels on the display directly above the key. Soft key functions and availability
will change depending on the current software operational state or mode.
