Hi-Precision Diagnostics now offers the SurePath Liquid Pap Test, an FDA-approved liquid-based Pap test offering an advanced solution for Pap smear preparation.
Comparison between Conventional method, ThinPrep and SurePath
SurePath Liquid Pap Test offers the following Advantages:
For Patients:
• Safe and Effective
o Easy-to-use collection technique ensures 100% of collected sample is sent to the laboratory.
• Less Worry
o Greater cell yield significantly reduces “Unsatisfactory” and “Satisfactory But Limited By (SBLB)” cases which means fewer repeat visits.
• Reliable Results
o SurePath Liquid Pap test reduces any unwanted cellular material (e.g., blood, mucus, etc.) and provides greater clarity for diagnosis.
• Flexibility
o An effective collection method provides the laboratory with enough specimens for repeat testing, if required. Residual sample can also be used for additional or further testing.
• Stability
o Samples are stable up to 4 weeks when stored properly at room temperature.
For Physicians:
• Safe and Effective
o 64.4% increase in the detection of HSIL+ lesions, increasing your chances of finding abnormalities.
o SurePath Liquid Pap test uses a non-hazardous, non-carcinogenic ethanol-based preservative for specimen collection. No special handling or storage requirements.
• Fewer Patient Call Backs
o Proprietary process reduces obscuring material and cell debris, giving you a clear view of diagnostically relevant cells.
o Statistically significant reduction of Unsatisfactory cases thereby reducing unnecessary repeat sample collection and testing.
• Less Worry
o Easy-to-use detachable head collection device ensures that 100% of collected samples are sent to the laboratory for processing. None of the collected cells are discarded in the clinic.
• Flexibility & Stability
o Ample sample volume is sufficient for repeat or additional testing, if required. Collected sample is stable for up to 4 weeks when stored properly at room temperature.
• Workflow Efficiency (optional)
o Sample vials are never re-opened in the laboratory during processing. Samples are processed with no human interaction to the vial’s contents.
o Walk-away automation with minimal hands-on for staining procedures allows for high throughput processing of up to 48 samples.
