European Clinical Evaluation of the BD HPV Assay on the BD Viper LT System
European Clinical Evaluation of the BD HPV Assay on the BD Viper LT System
The purpose of the study is to compare the results of the Becton Dickinson (BD) Human
 Papilloma Virus (HPV) Assay on the Viper LT instrument from SurePath media diluted in HPV
 diluent (pre-quot and/or residual), PreservCyt media diluted in HPV diluent (pre-quot and/or
 residual) and a BD cervical brush in BD transport medium to reference histology results from
 biopsy.
This is a multicenter study consisting of 2-3 European clinical trial sites, and up to 2 BD
 Viper LT Systems.

 The BD HPV Diluent tube will be run on the BD HPV assay with the Viper LT instrument and
 compared to histology, Digene hybrid capture 2 (HC2), and Roche LINEAR ARRAY HPV Genotyping
 Test results.
