Detailed instructions for using the BrushTest.

What it’s for:

The BrushTest is indicated to test the common, small, harmless-appearing white or red tissue spots that you see at least several times each week.

Doing a BrushTest:

Please note: While the following information provides guidance on how to obtain an adequate BrushTest specimen, the OralCDx BrushTest is “fail-safe”. This means that if you do not obtain a complete specimen on initial testing, this cannot harm the patient since incomplete specimens are detected by the OralCDx laboratory and the BrushTest can be repeated at a future appointment.
 The BrushTest does not require topical or local anesthetic, although local or a non-viscous topical anesthetic may be used if desired. The brush biopsy instrument captures cells and cell clusters from all layers of the epithelium under the oral spot being tested. Use the side or the end of the brush and rotate firmly (most cases, 5-15 rotations are sufficient) until pin-point bleeding is observed.
