Multicenter Evaluation of 2 Vaginal Self-Collection Devices for HPV Testing

This study is among the first US multicenter evaluations comparing 2 self-collection devices on the same molecular platform. It demonstrated that the clinical sensitivity of the Alinity m HR HPV assay for cervical disease detection (≥ CIN2) using both SCS and EB self-collected vaginal specimens is comparable to that in CC specimens. Overall, HPV agreement rates were consistent with those reported for other validated self-collected devices.
