ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed for home use detection of cervical and vaginal carcinoma. The device comprises a probe of various designs including an aspiration device or a swab for removing cells from the vagina or cervix. The probe is encased to provide a sterile environment. The device includes a container having a rupturable membrane for maintaining a solution in a sterile environment prior to breaking of the rupturable membrane. The rupturable membrane is established for being severed by the probe enabling the probe containing the removed cells to be immersed in the solution in the container. In one embodiment, the container contains a fixing solution for reacting with the cells on the probe enabling the transfer of the sample cells to a testing laboratory. In another embodiment of the invention, the container contains an iodine solution for reacting with the sample cells. The color of the stained sample cells is then compared to a color chart for providing an immediate indication of the test results.
