Tables 12, 13, and 14 show the specimen adequacy results for the ThinPrep method and
conventional smear method for all of the study sites. Of the 7,360 total patients enrolled,
7,223 are included in this analysis. Cases with patient's age less than 18 years or patients with
a hysterectomy were excluded from this analysis.
Two additional clinical studies were conducted to evaluate specimen adequacy results when
samples were deposited directly into the PreservCyt
conventional Pap smear. This specimen collection technique is the intended use for the
ThinPrep 2000 system. Tables 15 and 16 present the split sample and direct to vial results.
