In 2003, Cytyc received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the ThinPrep® Imaging System, which incorporates Dual Review™ screening of every slide. By providing Dual Review of each slide, the ThinPrep Imaging System combines the power of computer assisted primary screening with human expertise. The result is a higher level of certainty in cervical screening. The ThinPrep Imaging System includes:

Cytyc's fully integrated workflow platform for cervical cancer screening consists of the ThinPrep 2000 Processor, ThinPrep 3000 Processor and the ThinPrep Imaging System. The ThinPrep 2000 Processor and ThinPrep 3000 Processor both utilize technology, which provides consistent, reproducible results. The ThinPrep process ensures a representative transfer of cells from the ThinPrep Pap Test vial to the slide and produces a well-visualized thin-layer slide.

The ThinPrep Imaging System combines the power of computerized technology with human diagnostic experience. This Dual Review process provides improved diagnostic performance and screening productivity.¹

The combination of the ThinPrep Pap Test and ThinPrep Imaging System will allow your laboratory to establish a new standard in cervical cancer screening and meet goals that are vital to your success:
