Special Instructions

Include date of birth, Social Security number (or other identification number), previous malignancy, drug therapy, radiation therapy, last menstrual period (LMP), postmenopausal patient (PMP), surgery (including surgical biopsies), exogenous hormones, abnormal vaginal bleeding, abnormal Pap results, IUD, and all other pertinent clinical information on the cytology test request form.

Note: In accordance with criteria established by CLIA, Pap tests will be referred for pathologist review if laboratory personnel suspect:

• Reactive or reparative cellular changes

• Atypical squamous or glandular cells of undetermined significance

• Cells in the premalignant or malignant category

In these cases, LabCorp will charge for the associated service. (Slides that are routinely reviewed by a pathologist for quality control purposes are not included.)

Limitations

Failure to obtain a vaginal cell population renders the specimen unsatisfactory for evaluation. Excessive use of lubricating jelly on the vaginal speculum will interfere with cytologic examination.

Specimen Requirements

Specimen

ThinPrep® vial or SurePath™ vial

Minimum Volume

Entire vial

Collection Instructions

Use the cervix brush to obtain cells from the upper third of the lateral vaginal wall. Then, rotate the brush in the PreservCyt® solution 10 times while pushing against the wall of the vial. Swirl the brush vigorously to release additional material. Discard the brush. Tighten the cap on the PreservCyt® solution container so that the torque line on the cap passes the torque line on the vial. Record the patient's name and ID number on the vial and place it and the test request form in a specimen bag for transport to the laboratory.

When doing the TriPath SurePath™ method, the cervix brush (broom) must be used before being placed in the CytoRich™ preservative fluid collection vial. Also, the cervix brush and Wallach brush may be used in obtaining a ThinPrep® specimen but the brush is rinsed vigorously in the vial and discarded; the brush head is not placed in the ThinPrep® PreservCyt® vial.

Storage Instructions

Maintain specimen at room temperature. Specimens must be processed for testing within 21 days of collection.

Patient Preparation

Patient should avoid douches 48 to 72 hours prior to examination. Specimen should not be collected during or shortly after menstrual period. Excessive use of lubricating jelly on the vaginal speculum will interfere with cytologic examination.

Causes for Rejection

Improperly labeled vial; specimen more than 21 days old (from collection date) in liquid-based preservative; specimen submitted in vial that expired according to manufacturer's label; frozen specimen
