Specimen Type: Container: ThinPrep(R) vial Storage: Maintain specimen at room temperature. Special Instructions: Not Available Specimen Collection: THINPREP(R) VIAL-BROOM OR BRUSH/SPATULA: BROOM-LIKE COLLECTION TECHNIQUE: Obtain a sample from the cervix using a broom-like device by inserting the brush portion into the cervical os and then rotate the brush five times. Rinse the collection device in the PreservCyt(R) solution by pushing the brush into the bottom of the vial 10 times, forcing the bristles to bend apart to release the cervical material. As a final step, twirl the brush between the thumb and forefinger vigorously to release additional cellular material. Discard the collection device. Tighten the cap on the ThinPrep(R) vial so that the torque line on the cap passes the torque line on the vial. BRUSH/SPATULA TECHNIQUE: Insert the brush into the endocervical canal until only the bottommost fibers are exposed. Slowly rotate the brush 1/4 to 1/2 turn in one direction. Do NOT over-rotate the brush. Then, rotate the brush in the PreservCyt(R) solution 10 times while pushing against the wall of the ThinPrep(R) vial. Swirl the brush vigorously to release additional material. Discard the brush. Obtain an adequate sample from the ectocervix using a plastic spatula. Swirl vigorously in the ThinPrep(R) vial 10 times and discard the spatula. Tighten the cap on the ThinPrep(R) container so that the torque line on the cap passes the torque line on the vial.
