Sigmund,

According to the NPTH press release:

®The PMA supplement requests approval to use the AutoPap System as an initial screener, identifying 25% of slides which receive AutoPap review only and may be archived as normal. The remaining 75% of the slides have the highest probability of containing abnormal cells. These will then be manually screened and will include a 15% subset subjected to federally mandated Quality Control rescreening. ¯

Am I reading this correctly?? 75% of the slides must be rescreened manually. Of these 75%, 15% must be screened a third time. This would mean that if you were screening 100 slides using the AutoPap System, there would still be 87 manual screenings still required!

No wonder people are asking if it is cost effective.
