BD SurePath - Liquid-Based Papanicolau Test System
The BD SurePath™ liquid-based Pap test provides advantages over conventional Pap smears and other liquid-based cytology (LBC) tests, resulting in greater disease detection.
The test features two-in-one brushes with detachable heads, and ethanol-based vials that preserve samples and ensure that 100% of the cells arrive at the lab.
Cell enrichment
The unique BD cell enrichment process separates and removes blood, mucus and interfering materials from the sample, transferring only the most diagnostically relevant material to the slide.
Reduced unsats and patient recalls
As a result of both the sample collection method (that sends 100% of cells to the lab, well-preserved) and cell enrichment (that removes all debris), the test exhibits lower unsats than any other method, decreasing patient callbacks and sample reprocessing.
Increased abnormal cell detection
After the steps from collection to cell enrichment, the result is a clear presentation of cells to increase HSIL+ detection compared to that of conventional pap slides.
Duplicated 2D barcodes
When used with the BD Totalys™ system, the BD SurePath barcodes allow positive sample identification (PSID) from collection through cytological and molecular testing, providing greater confidence in results.
Ethanol-based preservative
The preservative is noncarcinogenic, eliminating concern over handling or storing the vial.
