Ibex Prostate Detect is a software only device intended to analyze scanned histopathology whole slide images (WSIs) from prostate core needle biopsies (PCNB) prepared from hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) stained formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue. The device is intended to identify cases initially diagnosed as benign for further review by a pathologist. If Ibex Prostate Detect detects tissue morphology suspicious for prostate adenocarcinoma (AdC), it provides case- and slide-level alerts (flags) which includes a heatmap of tissue areas in the WSI that is likely to contain cancer.Ibex Prostate Detect is intended to be used with slide images digitized with Philips Ultra Fast Scanner and visualized using the Ibex Prostate Detect user interface.Ibex Prostate Detect outputs are not intended to be used on a standalone basis for diagnosis, to rule out prostatic AdC or to preclude pathological assessment of WSIs according to the standard of care.
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.
