Corrective Action
• Confirm that a ThinPrep micro-
scope slide is being used.
• Check the condition of the label
and that the correct ID format is
used (refer to Slide Labeling,
page 3.7).
• Load the slide into the cassette
with the label face up and toward
the opening.
Contact Hologic Technical Support.
The slide may undergo review at the
Review Scope.
Use the Slide Data Record query
(page 4.45). Confirm if the ID is
unique.
If there is a duplicate, reconcile
both patient records; relabel one
and reprocess the slide.
Inspect the slide and confirm that
• ThinPrep microscope slide with
fiducial marks is being used
• The slide is clean (no fingerprints,
debris, bubbles. etc.)
• The coverslip media is completely
dry
• The coverslip does not extend
beyond the edge of the slide
• The label is applied smoothly - no
wrinkles or lifted edges
Rerun the slide
The slide must be manually
reviewed if it cannot be successfully
imaged.
