INTENDED USE
•
For Cervical Cytology utilizing the Conventional Pap Smear.
•
The PAPETTE is the most gentle, yet effective means of simultaneously taking both ectocervical and
endocervical cell samples.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Contact the cervix with the PAPETTE and insert the central bristles into the cervical canal deep enough to
allow the shorter bristles to fully contact the ectocervix.
2. Push gently, and rotate the PAPETTE in either direction.
3. Remove the PAPETTE and draw each side once across the slide (like a paint brush), thus transferring both
ectocervical and endocervical cell samples in one stroke.
4. Dispose of PAPETTE in accordance with local Medical Hazardous Waste practices.
Note: It is advisable to inform your pathologist or lab that the Wallach PAPETTE is being used to obtain samples.
