SurePath™ Imaging Pap and HPV mRNA E6/E7
Use
Liquid‑based Pap testing (SurePath™ Imaging Pap) combined with HPV mRNA E6/E7 testing is intended for cervical cancer screening by identifying cytologic abnormalities and the presence of active high‑risk HPV infection (E6/E7 mRNA). Co‑testing improves detection of pre‑cancerous lesions compared to either test alone.
Special Instructions
In instances where computer‑assisted Pap testing is unable to make an evaluation, manual cytologic screening will be performed. Collection requires SurePath™ preservative vial using both contoured spatula and endocervical brush head dropped into the vial. See collection kit #C06 SurePath™ w/ Broom and Spatula Kit for detailed instructions.
