Efficiency

Providing simple and fast automation

  • Automated process handling 1 to 12 samples per cycle
  • Predictably mixes, aspirates and dispenses a defined volume of specimen
  • Eliminates manual cap removal, reducing the risk of contamination
  • Fast sample processing, taking less than 5 minutes to run 12 samples
  • Simple user interface and small footprint
Efficiency

Precision

Bd’s unique cellular enrichment process

  • Reduces non-diagnostic components such as excess inflammatory cells, mucus, blood, and lubricants
  • Minimizes air-drying artifact and obscuring, overlapping cellular material
  • Provides easier visualization of epithelial cells, diagnostically relevant cells and infectious organisms
  • Minimizes unsatisfactory test results

Meet the BD FocalPoint™ GS Imaging System

Performance

  • Statistically significant increases in disease detection over the manual screening method1
  • Directed QC technology™ flags up to 15% of highest ranked cases diagnosed as negative for additional review to assist in the reduction of false negative diagnoses1
  • ‘No Further Review’ functionality enables triaging of up to 25% of lower ranked slides without the requirement for secondary screening
  • Compared to manual screening, the BD FocalPoint™ GS Imaging System was associated with a 42% overall decrease in ASC / SIL ratio1, leading to more accurate diagnosis.
