Paige Prostate is a software only device intended to assist pathologists in the detection of foci that are suspicious for cancer during the review of scanned whole slide images (WSI) from prostate needle biopsies prepared from hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) stained formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue. After initial diagnostic review of the WSI by the pathologist, if Paige Prostate detects tissue morphology suspicious for cancer, it provides coordinates (X,Y) on a single location on the image with the highest likelihood of having cancer for further review by the pathologist.
An interpretive software program with image analysis algorithms [e.g., artificial intelligence (AI)-based] intended to be used in a digital pathology or microbiology laboratory to assist in the analysis of clinical specimens (e.g., biopsy, blood smear, urine) and/or microbial cultures for the quantitative/qualitative detection of cell markers (e.g., hormone receptors), changes in tissue architecture and/or cell morphological/physiological characteristics [e.g., nucleus size, cytoplasmic granularity, rate of cell division], and/or infectious microorganisms associated with a disease (e.g., breast cancer, malaria, UTI). Results are also interpreted by a clinician to guide patient management.
