1. HPV and/or GC/CT test requests sent to this laboratory are forwarded
to a reference laboratory, which only processes these specimens when
they are collected into ThinPrep vials containing PreservCyt Solution.
This testing cannot be done on conventional smears.
2. ThinPrep Pap Test supplies, including Pap smear requisitions, spatulas,
and PreservCyt Solution can be obtained from Pathology.
3. Collection for HPV and/or GC/CT testing is identical to that of the
ThinPrep Pap Test. These tests can be performed either on the
ThinPrep vial specimen leftover after processing the Pap test, or on the
whole specimen in the ThinPrep vial instead of the Pap test. Fill out
the Pap smear requisition completely, indicating which tests are
ordered: Pap test, HPV test, and/or GC/CT test. (GC and CT testing
are not done separately.) Attach insurance information.
4. Proceed with Steps 3 through 7 in the Section Thin Prep Pap Test
Collection above.
