Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The M-Strip Menstrual fluid collection device was evaluated as a safe, non-invasive method that consistently collected adequate menstrual blood for hr-HPV testing, with 100 Percentage sample adequacy among 145 evaluable women participants and no device-related serious adverse events. In this open-label clinical investigation, 175 healthy women aged 30 to 55 years were enrolled, and 145 participants completed the study. The device demonstrated high concordance with conventional cervical smear or liquid based cytology (LBC) testing, including 93.10 percentage overall agreement, 95.45 percentage negative percent agreement, 69.23 percentage positive percent agreement, and moderate but statistically significant agreement by Cohens kappa (0.604; p less than 0.001). The study also detected multiple clinically relevant high-risk HPV genotypes, including HPV 16, 33, 35, 39, 51, 56, 58, 59, and 68. These findings indicate that the M-Strip™ is a safe, well-tolerated, and effective alternative to speculum-based sample collection, with potential to expand access to HPV-based cervical cancer screening and broader hr-HPV detection.
