Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A clinical study to determine the adequacy and efficacy of the InPath e2TM Collector compared to the FDA-approved spatula/cytobrush when used as the cell collection device in screening for cervical cancer.

The InPath e2TM Collector name has been changed to the CytoCore SoftPAP(R) Collector

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The e2TM (SoftPAP) Collector collects only cells that have been exfoliated from the cervix whereas spatulas, brushes and broom-style collection devices collect cells by scraping or abrading the cervix. THis trial is to determine whether the purely exfoliated sample collected using the e2TM Collector is equivalent to samples obtained by scraping or abrading the cervix for purposes of cervical cancer screening and HPV detection.
