Reliable Detection of high-risk HPV DNA with Genotyping of HPV 16 and 18/45

The Need

  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection1
  • HPV genotypes 16 and 18 are associated with approximately 71% of all cases of cervical cancer, and HPV genotype 45 is associated with approximately 6% of additional cases of cervical cancer.2,3
  • HPV NAAT workflows may require batch testing, which can delay result availability.4
  • Rapid HPV results that include integrated high-risk HPV 16 and HPV 18 genotyping support colposcopy referral decisions.5
  • WHO recommends using a screen-and-treat approach.6

The Solution

  • The Xpert HPV v2 test, is an automated, qualitative, in vitro test for the detection of the E6/E7 region of the viral DNA genome from 14 high risk HPV in patient specimens.
  • Xpert HPV v2 specifically identifies types HPV 16 and HPV 18/45 in two distinct detection channels, and reports 11 other high-risk types in a pooled result
  • The Xpert HPV v2 test can be used with a Pap specimen or as a first-line primary screening test.

The Impact

  • Patient Management: Xpert HPV v2 provides partial genotyping, with individual call-outs for high-risk HPV types 16 and 18/45, for primary screening of women who are at risk of developing cervical cancer.7
  • Fast Results: HPV results in around 60 minutes for same-visit clinician/ patient consult, and is aligned with WHO screen‑and‑treat recommendations.6
  • Adaptable: in a decentralized setting in a laboratory environment,including cytology and molecular laboratories.
