What is it indicated for?
CINtec Histology is a qualitative immunohistochemistry (IHC) test using mouse monoclonal anti-p16 antibody clone E6H4, and is intended for use in the light microscopic assessment of the p16INK4a protein in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cervical punch biopsy tissues using OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit on a VENTANA BenchMark ULTRA instrument. The test is indicated as an adjunct to examination of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained slide(s), to improve consistency in the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Diagnosis of CIN presence or level should be based on H&E stained slide(s) and other clinical and laboratory test information.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
