Whole Slide Imaging System
The Whole Slide Imaging System is an automated digital pathology system that creates, views, and manages digital images of surgical pathology slides prepared from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, intended as an aid to pathologists reviewing and interpreting histological sections otherwise viewed by conventional brightfield microscopy. It is classified as FDA Class 2 under 21 CFR 864.3700 in the Pathology specialty, requiring 510(k) premarket notification. The system is not intended for frozen tissue, cytology, or non-FFPE hematopathology specimens. Product code PSY; not an implant and not life-sustaining.

Device Characteristics
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).
