The Virtuoso™ system provides automated digital slide creation, management, analysis, and viewing. 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.

The Virtuoso™ System for IHC PR (1E2) using the VENTANA iScan HT is for the digital read application. This particular Virtuoso system is intended for use as an aid to the pathologist in the qualitative detection of progesterone receptor (PR) protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded normal and neoplastic tissue. This device is an accessory to Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. CONFIRM™ anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (1E2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody assay. The CONFIRM™ 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 IHC PR (1E2) Digital Read application is an adjunctive computer-assisted methodology for the qualified pathologist in the acquisition and interpretation of images from microscope glass slides of breast cancer specimens stained for the presence of PR protein. 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 CONFIRM™ anti-Progesterone Receptor (PR) (1E2) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody used to assure the validity of the Virtuoso System for IHC PR Digital Read scores. The actual correlation of CONFIRM™ anti-PR antibody to clinical outcome has not been established. This device is intended for IHC slides stained on the BenchMark XT and BenchMark ULTRA stainers.
