CarciScan · HPV Self-Test

Screening that fits
in a mailbox,
not a waiting room.

A multiplex-PCR HPV self-collect test for genotypes 16, 18 and 45 — manufactured by eDNA Teknoloji (Türkiye) under the genoma brand — designed for women who can't or won't visit a clinic for a Pap smear.

How It Works

Self-collect. Mail in. Get results.

CarciScan removes the two biggest barriers to cervical screening: a clinic visit and a speculum exam.

1

Order the kit

The self-collection kit ships directly, with plain-language instructions.

2

Self-collect

A private vaginal swab, done at home in under two minutes — no clinician required.

3

Multiplex-PCR analysis

The sample is processed for high-risk HPV genotypes 16, 18 and 45 in a certified lab.

4

Results & referral

Positive results are paired with a clear referral pathway into the clinical system.

Clinical Evidence

What's genuinely documented — with the caveats intact.

We link every claim to its source and state plainly what each study does and doesn't prove.

Preprint · not peer-reviewed

Karolinska / WHO Reference Center study

Dillner et al., medRxiv, 4 Feb 2026. A 10-country, 13-assay collaborative evaluation; a Turkish reference lab used CarciScan as its assay. Pooled sensitivity 90.08% / specificity 92% across all assays tested.

No CarciScan-specific sensitivity/specificity breakout exists yet in the pooled results, and the manuscript has not completed peer review.
Peer-reviewed protocol

Ghana screening study

Taumberger et al., Cancer Control (SAGE), 2025. Published protocol for an n=1,000 CarciScan-based screening study.

Protocol only — efficacy results are not yet reported. Interim data expected ~Jan 2026; full study through 2029.
KOL endorsement

Prof. Murat Gültekin, Hacettepe University

Letter dated 6 Jul 2026 supporting a Philippines pilot / proof-of-concept deployment, from a co-author on the Karolinska/WHO evaluation.

Analytical study

13-sample analytical verification

Early analytical/target-detection testing showed 95% sensitivity / 100% specificity.

Small analytical panel, not a powered clinical trial — no population-level CIN2+/CIN3+ efficacy claim is made from this data.

Turkey: national feasibility, not a product-specific trial

Turkey's national screening program has tested roughly 4.1 million women using HPV DNA methods generally. This demonstrates that population-scale HPV self/self-collect screening is operationally viable in a comparable health system.

We do not claim CarciScan itself screened this volume — that product-specific figure is unverified and we do not present it to investors or clinicians.
Certifications & Regulatory Status

Stated exactly as they stand today.

Legacy IVDD

EU CE Marking

Certified under the legacy EU IVDD (98/79/EC) framework, dated 2022.

This is not an IVDR certification — we do not use the term "IVDR-certified" for this product.
Renewal needed

ISO 13485

Quality management certification on file, valid through 09 May 2024.

The certificate has expired and is pending renewal — flagged transparently, not omitted.

Turkish ÜTS Registration

Registered as IVD-Other in Turkey's ÜTS device registry, with a stated future commitment to pursue IVDR Class C.

The commercial SKU covers HPV 16/18/45 only; the broader 15-genotype panel remains in R&D.

Philippines regulatory pathway

Per FDA/CDRRHR guidance (Circular 2020-001, letter dated 6 Jul 2026), HPV in-vitro diagnostic devices of this class are non-registrable with the Philippine FDA — no product approval is required. The operative requirement is a License to Operate (LTO) as a medical-device establishment, needed for import and public-sector bidding.

For Clinics & Public Health Partners

A screening pathway that extends your reach, not replaces your judgment.

CarciScan is designed to sit upstream of clinical care: self-collected screening that triages who needs a clinic visit, backed by a documented referral pathway for positive results and aligned with the Philippines' positive HTA financing recommendation.
