Intended Use PelvoCheck® Swab Collection Tube: For the transport and storage of vaginal and cervical specimens to be analysed by PelvoCheck® CT/NG. Intended Use Copan CLASSIQSwabs™: A sterile and ready-for-use system intended for clinical samples drawing. The swab is suitable for short contact with the human body. Product should be used as directed.
Sampling Swab: The Sampling Swab is separately packed in a peel pouch. It is a polyester swab to sample the vagina or the cervix. The moulded break-point allows snapping off the head, which remains in the storage vial after collecting the specimen, thus ensuring that the entire specimen is collected. Vial with Specimen Collection Medium: 5 ml Specimen Collection Medium guarantee optimal storage conditions and a transport free of contamination and DNA degradation. The dimensions of the storage vial ensure an easy and secure handling of the specimen for downstream analysis even with the snap-off head remaining in the vial.
Warnings and Precautions
• DO NOT USE FOR SAMPLING THE ENDOMETRIUM! • PelvoCheck® Swab Collection Kit is a product for single use only. Do not reuse any parts of the kit.
