Processing Status Information

Each slide result report confirms if the slide was completely and successfully imaged by the
BD FocalPoint™ Slide Profiler. If a slide was not successfully processed, a message stating the
reason for the unsuccessful scan accompanies the status.
Action
Review—Instrument detected
potential cellular abnormalities. Slide
must be reviewed by a
Cytotechnologist.
Review—The instrument did not
detect adequate squamous
component. The slide must be
reviewed by a Cytotechnologist.
Review—The instrument detected
inflammation and/or obscuration. The
slide must be reviewed by a
Cytotechnologist.
Review—The instrument did not
detect adequate cellular material for
analysis. The slide must be reviewed
by a Cytotechnologist.
Process Review—The instrument
did not complete scanning or
rejected the slide for the reason
indicated. In some cases, the
problem can be corrected and the
slide can be rerun. For problems that
cannot be corrected and rerun, or
upon rerun, still do not complete
scanning, those slides must be
reviewed by a Cytotechnologist.
Rerun—The instrument was not
functioning within limits when the
slide was processed. The slide must
be rerun when the instrument is
functioning properly, or these slides
must be reviewed by a
Cytotechnologist.
Rerun—The operator ejected the
tray before the slide could complete
processing or the system
experienced a power failure or
another type of interruption. Such
slides must be either rerun or
reviewed by a Cytotechnologist.
Empty—The system did not detect a
slide in this tray position. If a slide is
present and was not detected, the
slide must be rerun, or these slides
must be reviewed by a
Cytotechnologist.
* Adequacy is reported only for conventional slides
# Squamous component, endocervical component and inflammation/obscuration are reported for both BD SurePath™
and Conventional slides.
