Abbott RealTime HR HPV assay

The Abbott RealTime High Risk (HR) HPV assay is a qualitative in vitro polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that utilizes homogeneous target amplification and detection technology for the detection of high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in cervical cells collected in liquid cytology media. The Abbott RealTime HR HPV assay is intended to detect 14 high risk HPV genotypes: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68 and to partially genotype 16, 18 from other 12 high risk genotypes. The Abbott RealTime High-Risk HPV assay is designed for the detection of high-risk HPV genotypes in cervical specimens from women with precancerous lesions of the cervix uteri (≥ CIN2) and cervical cancer to provide clinically meaningful results in cervical cancer screening.
