Read the full statement (167 words)

The FISHView system is intended to be used for karyotyping with real-time microscope images from cultured and stained cell specimens in their metaphase. The system works with bright field and fluorescent samples. Specimens suitable for banding analysis are: amniotic fluid, peripheral blood, chorionic villus, bone marrow and solid tumor. Karyotyping is normally applied for the pre and postnatal diagnosis of birth defects, chromosome abnormalities, genetic diseases (such as Down's syndrome), cancer, and for the follow up of the cancer treatment. The FISHView system does not locate metaphase spreads; it does not rank the given cells according to quality; nor does it automatically classify chromosomes.

In addition the FISHView is intended as an aiding tool to the pathologist or cytogeneticist for digital visualizing, processing, counting and classification of stained cells and for storage of FISH multi-dye images of the following specimens: amniotic fluid, peripheral blood, chorionic villus, bone marrow and solid tumor.

The FISHView system does require and relies on the operator to analyze the digitized microscope images.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
