To collect specimen from exocervix, select contoured end of plastic spatula and rotate it 360° around entire exocervix while maintaining tight contact with exocervical surface. Remove spatula.
Rinse contoured end of plastic spatula into PreservCyt Solution vial by swirling spatula vigorously in vial 10 times. Discard spatula. Place cap on vial.
Obtain an adequate sampling from endocervix using an endocervical brush device. Insert brush into cervix until only bottom-most fibers are exposed. Slowly rotate one quarter or one half turn in 1 direction. Do not over-rotate. Additional rotation may cause bleeding and contaminate specimen. Note: A cervical “broom” (e.g. Rovers Cervex Brush or Combi, Wallach Papette) may be used in lieu of spatula/cervical brush if desired. It is extremely important to immediately dislodge cellular material and not allow collection devices to sit in fixative or cells will become trapped to/in collection device.
Rinse brush in PreservCyt Solution vial by rotating device in solution 10 times while pushing against PreservCyt vial wall. Swirl brush VIGOROUSLY to further release material.
Discard collection device after depositing cellular material in vial. Do not send collection device in vial.
Tighten cap so torque line on cap passes torque line on vial.
Place specimen in plastic specimen bag with completed cytology test requisition inserted into pocket separate from specimen, and, if possible, deliver specimen to Cytology Laboratory.
