## Indications for use
The GenASIs HiPath IHC Family provides image capture, management, analysis, and viewing of specific immunohistochemically stained slides. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist in the display, detection, counting, review and classification of tissues and cells of clinical interest based on particular morphology, color, intensity, size, pattern and shape: 1. The GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for HER2 (4B5) is for image capture and analysis applications. This particular system is intended for use as an aid to the pathologist in the detection and semi-quantitative measurement of HER2 protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissue. This device is an accessory to Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. PATHWAY® anti-HER2/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody. The PATHWAY® anti-HER2/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody is indicated for use as an aid in the assessment of breast cancer patients for whom HERCEPTIN® (Trastuzumab) treatment is being considered. NOTE: The GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for HER2 (4B5) image capture and analysis applications are adjunctive computer-assisted methodologies for the qualified pathologist in the acquisition and semi-quantitative measurement of images from microscope glass slides of breast cancer specimens stained for the presence of HER-2/neu receptor protein. The pathologist should verify agreement with the Image Analysis software application score by reviewing the glass slide under the microscope. The accuracy of the test results depends on the quality of the immuohistochemical staining. It is the responsibility of a qualified pathologist to employ appropriate morphological studies and controls as specified in the instructions for the PATHWAY® anti-HER-2/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay used to assure the validity of the GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for HER2 (4B5) image capture and analysis scores. The actual correlation of PATHWAY® anti-HER-2/neu (4B5) to clinical outcome has not been established. 2. The GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for PR (1E2) is for image capture and analysis applications. This particular system is intended for use as an aid to the pathologist in the detection and qualitative measurement of progesterone receptor (PR) protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissue. This device is an accessory to Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. CONFIRMTM anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (1E2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay. The CONFIRMTM anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (1E2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay is indicated for use as an aid in the assessment of breast cancer patients for whom endocrine treatment is being considered (but is not the sole basis for treatment). Note: The GenASIs HiPath IHC for PR (1E2) image capture and analysis applications are adjunctive computer-assisted methodologies for the qualified pathologist in the acquisition and qualitative measurement of images from microscope glass slides of breast cancer specimens stained for the presence of PR protein. The pathologist should verify agreement with the Image Analysis software application score by reviewing the glass slide under the microscope. The accuracy of the test results depends on the quality of the immunohistochemical staining. It is the responsibility of a qualified pathologist to employ appropriate morphological studies and controls as specified in the instructions for the CONFIRMTM anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (1E2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody used to assure the validity of the GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for PR (1E2) image capture and analysis scores. The actual correlation of CONFIRMTM anti-PR antibody to clinical outcome has not been established. 3. The GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for ER (SP1) is for image capture and analysis applications. The particular system is intended for use as an aid to the pathologist in the detection and qualitative measurement of ER (SP1): protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissue. This device is an accessory to the Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. CONFIRMTM anti-Estrogen Receptor (ER) (SP1) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody. The Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. CONFIRMTM anti-Estrogen Receptor (ER) (SP1) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody is indicated for use as an aid in the assessment of ER status in breast cancer patients (but is not the sole basis for treatment). Note: The GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for ER (SP1) image capture and analysis applications are adjunctive computer-assisted methodologies for the qualified pathologist in the acquisition and qualitative measurement of images from microscope glass slides of breast cancer specimens stained for the presence of ER protein. The pathologist should verify agreement with the Image Analysis software application score by reviewing the glass slide under the microscope. The accuracy of the test results depends on the quality of the immuohistochemical staining. It is the responsibility of a qualified pathologist to employ appropriate morphological studies and controls as specified in the instructions for the CONFIRMTM anti-Estrogen Receptor (ER) (SP1) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody to assure the validity of the GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for ER (SP1) image capture and analysis scores. The actual correlation of CONFIRMTM anti-Estrogen Receptor (ER) (SP1) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody to clinical outcome has not been established. 4. The GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for Ki67 (30-9) is for image capture and analysis applications. The particular system is intended for use as an aid to the pathologist in the detection and qualitative measurement of Ki67 (30-9): protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissue. This device is an accessory to the Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. CONFIRMTM anti-Ki67 (30-9) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay. The Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. CONFIRMTM anti-Ki67 (30-9) assay is indicated for use in assessing the proliferative activity of breast cancer tissue. When used with this assay, the GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for Ki67 (30-9) is indicated for use as an aid in the assessment of Ki-67 status in breast cancer patients (but is not the sole basis for treatment). Note: The GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for Ki67 (30-9) image capture and analysis applications are adjunctive computer-assisted methodologies for the qualified pathologist in the acquisition and qualitative measurement of images from microscope glass slides of breast cancer specimens stained for the presence of Ki67 protein. The pathologist should verify agreement with the Image Analysis software application score by reviewing the glass slide under the microscope. The accuracy of the test results depends on the quality of the immunohistochemical staining. It is the responsibility of a qualified pathologist to employ appropriate morphological studies and controls as specified in the instructions for the CONFIRMTM anti-Ki67 (30-9) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay to assure the validity of the GenASIs HiPath IHC Family for Ki67 (30-9) image capture and analysis scores. The actual correlation of CONFIRMTM anti-Ki67 (30-9) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary antibody assay to clinical outcome has not been established.
