The BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test is your trusted partner for reliable sample collection and accurate result reporting

  • The BD SurePath™ collection vial is designed to improve patient care while providing physicians with the convenience of a single-source collection for Pap screening and molecular diagnostic testing

  • The BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test and the BD Onclarity™ HPV Assay provide HPV primary screening, co-testing and cytology primary with ASCUS reflex

  • When used with the BD Totalys™ MultiProcessor, the BD SurePath™ collection vial 2D barcodes allow Positive Sample Identification from collection through cytological and molecular testing, providing confidence in the results

  • The BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test can be processed according to the throughput and the automation levels needed. BD Totalys™ MultiProcessor or BD PrepMate™ (sample preparation, including cell enrichment), BD Totalys™ SlidePrep (slide preparation and staining) and BD FocalPoint™ GS Imaging System (slide analysis)

Due to the unique cell enrichment method, the BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test exhibits lower unsatisfactory results than other methods

  • Unsats represent a missed opportunity for screening and are more often associated with cervical abnormality2

Leading causes of unsatisfactory samples include:1

Insufficient number of squamous cells

With BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test, the head of the collection device is deposited directly into the BD SurePath™ collection vial, so 100% of the sample is sent to the laboratory – unlike the rinse-and-swirl technique, which can result in an average of 37% of the cells being discarded5

Obscuring blood and inflammation

The unique BD cell enrichment process separates and removes blood, mucus and interfering materials from the sample, meaning the most diagnostically relevant material is transferred to the slide6

Reduce the risk of missed cases of invasive cervical cancer by choosing the BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test

  • The BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test provides a 64.4% increase in HSIL+ detection compared to conventional cytology3
Higher disease detection rate Higher disease detection rate
Lower risk of missing disease Lower risk of missing disease
  • Using the BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test as the primary test method was associated with lower cervical cancer rates diagnosed after a normal screening sample compared to conventional cytology or ThinPrep®*4

The BD SurePath™ Liquid-based Pap Test can help you achieve actionable results and reduce the burden on the lab and health teams

  • Up-front accuracy leads to fewer patient callbacks, which could reduce patient anxiety and eliminate any risk of loss to follow-up, whilst removing the delay in receiving an actionable result

  • Fewer unsatisfactory results reduce the need for reprocessing samples and rescheduling patients, thus lessening the burden on the lab and nursing staff

  • The BD SurePath™ ethanol-based preservative is safe for health care professionals and lab personnel & safe for transport and storage
