Xpert HPV automates the test process including DNA extraction, amplification, and detection in one fully integrated cartridge.On-demand HPV testing a a next generation solution:
- Highest risk HPV 16 and HPV 18/45 call-outs enhances patient management
- Optimized detection of 14 hrHPV reported as: HPV16, HPV18/45 or other hrHPV (31, 33, 35, 52, 58; 51, 59; 39, 56, 66, 68)
- E6/E7 oncogenes target eliminates concerns in case of L1 gene deletion3
- Sample adequacy control (SAC) confirms patient sample contains human DNA
- HPV results in around 60 minutes for same-visit clinician/patient consult, minimizes need for repeat visits.
Efficient HPV DetectionCepheid Xpert HPV offers rapid, reliable detection of 14 high-risk HPV genotypes using advanced real-time PCR. Its closed cartridge system requires minimal hands-on operation, enhancing laboratory workflow and minimizing the risk of contamination. Built-in internal controls ensure the validity of each test, contributing to confidence in results.
Flexible Modular DesignThe analyzer's modular scalability allows up to four tests to be performed concurrently. Its compact dimensions and light weight (approx. 11.5 kg per module) make it ideal for bench-top deployment in varied laboratory spaces. Easy connectivity and data export options support seamless integration with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS).
User-Friendly AutomationWith an automatic, sample-to-result workflow and touchscreen interface, the Xpert HPV streamlines the testing process. Maintenance is minimal and no calibration is necessary. The intuitive design reduces training requirements, making it suitable for laboratories and hospitals seeking high-throughput HPV screening solutions.
FAQ's of Cepheid Xpert HPV:
Q: How does the Cepheid Xpert HPV analyzer operate for HPV detection?
A: The Xpert HPV system uses real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to detect 14 high-risk HPV DNA genotypes from cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution. The process is fully automated from sample insertion to result, utilizing a closed cartridge system for accuracy and bio-safety.
Q: What sample type is required for the Xpert HPV test?
A: The test requires cervical specimens collected in PreservCyt Solution. This collection method preserves the integrity of HPV DNA, ensuring reliable and accurate molecular diagnostic results.
Q: When can test results be expected after starting the analysis?
A: Results are typically available within approximately one hour from the start of the test, enabling rapid clinical decision-making and patient management.
Q: Where can the Cepheid Xpert HPV analyzer be installed?
A: This analyzer is well-suited for laboratory and hospital environments. Its bench-top, portable design, and low noise level make it appropriate for a variety of laboratory settings across India and globally.
Q: What is the process for running an HPV test with this system?
A: To run a test, place the preserved cervical specimen into the HPV cartridge, insert it into the analyzer, and follow the touchscreen prompts. The closed system automatically processes the specimen, runs the assay, and delivers a result with minimal user intervention.
Q: How does the integrated data management benefit laboratories using the Xpert HPV system?
A: Integrated data export options via USB and Ethernet, along with LIS connectivity, allow for seamless data transfer, secure storage, and efficient workflow management, supporting regulatory and reporting requirements.
Q: What maintenance is required for the Xpert HPV equipment?
A: Routine maintenance is minimal, as the analyzer does not require regular calibration. Its design enables reliable operation with little downtime, reducing the burden on laboratory staff.
