Use

This test is used for the detection of high‑risk Human Papillomavirus in clinician‑collected cervical samples and can be used as part of an HPV primary screening algorithm. The test detects high‑risk HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68, which are reported out as HPV 16, HPV 18, and other high‑risk HPV types which includes, but does not differentiate, the remaining 12 high‑risk types. Interim guidance supports the use of an HPV primary screening algorithm, where high‑risk HPV testing is used as a first line screen, in women ≥ 25 years of age. In patients for whom cervical sampling is performed and processed (clinician‑collected), this test supports early identification and risk stratification in accordance with professional guidelines.
