The BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test is your trusted partner from sample collection to result reporting.

The BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test is an FDA and CE-marked cytology method with higher cervical disease detection and lower unsatisfactory rate compared to conventional cytology and other liquid-based cytology (LBC) devices.1

A simple and efficient cell collection that ensures sample quality
 

  • The head of the collection device is deposited directly into the BD SurePath™ Collection Vial so 100% of the collected cells are sent to the laboratory for analysis – unlike the rinsing method which can result in up to 37% of cells being discarded.2,3
  • The cells are preserved in an ethanol solution for optimal slide preparation in the lab.4
  • The same sample can be used for cytology testing, immunocytochemistry, and HPV testing.4-6

A unique and standardised sample processing that offers homogenous slides
 

  • BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test uses a proprietary cell enrichment process to eliminate blood, inflammatory cells, mucus and other debris. Only the most diagnostically relevant material is presented on the slide, offering a clear background.7,8

  • Automated slide preparation with on-board staining results in a 13 mm deposition area and uniform distribution of the cells in a thin layer.9

Accurate and definitive results that enhance patient care

Women who are screened with BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test have a higher chance of having their precancerous lesions detected than women who are screened with either conventional cytology or other LBC devices.2

 

 Compared to conventional cytology, BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test resulted in:1
-58% in unsatisfactory reports
-29% in ASC-US/LSIL ratio
+64% in HSIL+ detection
+107% in LSIL+ detection

 

Decrease unsatisfactory reports

Unsatisfactory cytology test results may lead to patient call-backs and lost follow-up.10
Unsatisfactory slides aren’t just inconvenient, they are more likely to contain abnormal cells.11

With BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test, there are less than 1% of unsatisfactory reports,1 which may help reduce unnecessary additional testing.

Increase the detection of cervical precancerous lesions

Using conventional cytology, cervical precancerous lesions may go undetected.

BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test was found to outperform conventional cytology in the detection of HSIL+ and LSIL+
cytologic lesions
of the cervix.1

Decrease the risk of cervical cancer in the follow-up period

Screening with BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test is associated with a significant reduction in cumulative cervical cancer incidence over 6 years compared to conventional cytology and other LBC methods.12
