Gynecologic Pap Test (Image-guided), Liquid-based Preparation and Chlamydia/Gonococcus/Trichomonas, NAA With Reflex to High-risk HPV (Cobas®) With HPV Genotypes 16 and 18 When ASC-U using SurePath™ specimen
Use
Diagnose primary or metastatic neoplasm; detect Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis. The HPV test specifically identifies types HPV16 and HPV18 while concurrently detecting the rest of the high-risk types 31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,66, and 68, without further specific differentiation.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The evaluation is suboptimal if adequate ectocervical, endocervical, or vaginal cell populations are not obtained. Excessive use of lubricating jelly on the vaginal speculum can interfere with cytologic examination. Detection of high-risk HPV depends on the number of copies present and may be affected by specimen collection methods, patient factors, stage of infection, and the presence of interfering substances.
