Sorting Slides by Action Categories

Most laboratories will sort the processed slides by the action categories as described in
Section .
To aid in this sorting, use the printed slide results. There are two types of report layouts: tray reports
and slide reports. Although both of these reports contain the same information, they are arranged
differently.
The tray reports are designed to be placed next to a tray so that the slides and the slide results on the
report are aligned. It is then easy to see which slides need to be reviewed, archived, or reprocessed.
The slide result report is arranged in a tabular manner and sorted in one of three ways: rank,
barcode, or date. A good report to use when sorting slides by results categories is the Slide Result
Report sorted by date. This type of report lists slides in the order they were processed and groups
them by tray. See Figure 12-2 for an example of this report.
For details on using both types of reports, see Section 12.3. For a detailed discussion of slide results,
see Section 10.4.

When to Manually Screen Slides

All slides categorized as Review , must be reviewed at the BD FocalPoint™ GS workstation. The
remaining slides must be manually screened by a cytotechnologist. Exceptions to this are any
Process Review or Rerun slides that were successfully reprocessed on the BD FocalPoint™ Slide
Profiler.
The system provides a number of reports containing slide results that can be used as an aid when
screening these slides. For a complete description of each type of report available and tips for use,
see Section 12. Once familiar with all the reports produced by the BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler,
there may be other ways to use these reports.
For instructions pertaining to performing the CLIA-mandated Quality Control Rescreening, see
Section 19.
