This purpose of this research study is to determine the effectiveness of the Personal Pap Smear Deviceâ„¢ to collect adequate cervical cell samples for cytology examination when compared with the Rover Cervex-Brush (Cervix-Examination Brush).
To determine the effectiveness of the Personal Pap Smear Deviceâ„¢ to collect adequate (as defined by Bethesda Guidelines 2014) cervical cell samples for cytology examination as compared with the Rover Cervex-Brush (Cervix-Examination Brush).

| Pap smear collection using the Personal Pap Smear (PPS) Device | Experimental | The investigational device, trade named the Personal Pap Smearâ„¢ (PPS) developed by GyneConcepts of Atlanta, Georgia. It arrives completely assembled, and ready-for-use, in a sealed plastic bag. The PPS device is a multi-component assembly designed for the collection of exfoliated cervical epithelial cells. Its four major components are the (1) Tube Body, (2) U-Ring and attached Aligning Spoon, (3) Ball Handle, (with permanently anchored bristle Collection Brush), and (4) Safety Cover. |

| Pap smear collection using the Rovers Cervex-Brush | Active Comparator | The Predicate device utilized in this study is the Cervix-Examination Brush, manufactured by Rover (Manufacturers Code: 9443). The Cervex-Brush (CervixExamination Brush) is made of polyethylene and has a total length of 20 centimeters. The top portion uses a soft flexible brush to obtain cell samples. The brush consists of 57 semi-circular plastic bristles of various lengths. The shape is such that the top edges of the brush follow the contours of the cervix. The longer middle bristles reach deep into the endocervical canal- 'Os'. The shorter bristles touch both the ectocervical area and transformation zone at the same time. This device is packaged with identical standards used for packaging commercial tampons. |
