- 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.

- 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.
