Device Description

A mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed to be used in a histopathology laboratory to scan clinical specimens on microscope slides, at a microscopic level, to produce images in a digital format. Also known as a whole slide scanner or digital pathology slide scanning system, it is a bench-top unit with slide tray slots, high-resolution cameras, a user interface, and integrated software for image creation, viewing, and management to aid the pathologist to review and interpret slide images.

    Device Name: Whole Slide Imaging System

    Device Class: 2

    Physical State: The whole slide imaging system consists of an image management system, a scanner and associated software, and a display monitor. The whole slide imaging system does not include any automated Image Analysis Applications that would constitute computer aided detection or diagnosis.

    Definition: The whole slide imaging system is an automated digital slide creation, viewing, and management system intended as an aid to the pathologist to review and interpret digital images of surgical pathology slides prepared from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue. The system generates digital images that would otherwise be appropriate for manual visualization by conventional brightfield microscopy. The whole slide imaging system is not intended for use with slides prepared from frozen tissue, cytology, and non-FFPE hematopathology specimens (e.g., peripheral blood smear).
