Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection1
HPV genotypes 16 and 18 are associated with approximately 71% of all cases of cervical cancer, and HPV genotype 45 is associated with approximately 6% of additional cases of cervical cancer.2,3
HPV Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests (NAAT) can be complicated to use and batch testing can delay results critical for the mangement of hrHPV postive women.4
Rapid HPV results that include integrated high-risk HPV 16 and HPV 18 genotyping support more efficient colposcopy referrall.5
WHO recommends using a screen-and-treat approach.6

La soluzione
The Xpert HPV v2 test, is an automated, qualitative, in vitro test for the detection of the E6/E7 region of the viral DNA genome from 14 high risk HPV in patient specimens.
Xpert HPV v2 specifically identifies types HPV 16 and HPV 18/45 in two distinct detection channels, and reports 11 other high-risk types in a pooled result
The Xpert HPV v2 test can be used with a Pap specimen or as a first-line primary screening test.
L’impatto
Enhanced Patient Management: Xpert HPV v2 provides partial genotyping, with individual call-outs for high-risk HPV types 16 and 18/45, for primary screening of women who are at risk of developing cervical cancer.7
Rapid Results: HPV results in around 60 minutes for same-visit clinician/ patient consult, minimizes the need for repeat visits, and follows the WHO screen-and-treat approach.6
Adattabile: in a decentralized setting in a laboratory environment, in a cytology center, or in a molecular laboratory.
