The manual microscope controls can be used at any time. If returning to FOV review is needed,
advance the mouse wheel and it will advance to the next FOV.
3.6 Screening and Triaging Slides
The cytotechnologist is responsible for evaluating the entire area displayed in the FOV at 10x
magnification as abnormal cells can be located outside the center area and along the edge of the
FOV. All FOVs must be reviewed regardless of whether an abnormality or cells of interest are
seen before the last FOV. If an abnormality is not identified in any of the FOVs and the slide is
satisfactory, the slide can be signed out. Evidence of abnormality or inadequacy requires that a
full manual review is performed (see Section 4).
CAUTION
All FOVs must be reviewed before performing full slide review.
