multimodal
hyperspectroscopy
Revolutionary use of digital technology in cervical cancer screening
IMMEDIATE
RESULTS
Results are available right at the site of examination, so prompt actions can be taken
EARLY
DETECTION
May identify changes of cellular tissue than other screening methods up to 2 years earlier
HIGHER
SENSITVITY
Reduces False-Negative cases missed by other procedures
EFFICIENT
TREATMENT
Reduces the need of unnecessary diagnosing tests and the costs and hussles related
NON-INVASIVE
METHOD
No tissue samples are required and nothing is applied to the cervix, resulting for the patient no discomfort and risk of complications
ENHANCED
PATIENT CARE
Immediate emotional relief for patients
the technology
Biophotonics, multimodal hyperspectroscopy
The LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scan uses biophotonics to scan the entire uterine cervix and distal endocervix for the presence of moderate to high-grade dysplasia. The scanning technology of multimodal hyperspectroscopy (MHS) can penetrate below the tissue surface to detect changes before they may be discovered in conventional testing methods such as cytology or pathology.

indications for LuViva
LuViva is intended for use on
women aged 16+
- as a primary screener when conventional screening tests are not as available
- who have been referred for additional testing after abnormal cytology and/or positive HPV findings and/or other risk factors prior to colposcopy and biopsy

how it works
Simple screening process with immediate results
LuViva works by combining fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy to identify chemical and physical changes in cervical cellular tissue. The LuViva Cervical Guide shines a light painlessly onto the cervix for about a minute.
The patient is positioned with legs in stirrups, and a speculum is inserted into the vagina. The Cervical Guide, attached to a handheld unit, is inserted through the speculum into the vagina until it reaches the cervix.
LuViva analyzes the spectral data and displays the results on the touch screen monitor for review right at the point of care.
Once alligned, the scanning takes place. Painless light from the device passes through the CG to the cervix and the device separates the returned light into spectral data to analyze for signs of changes on the cellular level. This process takes 1 minute and 20 seconds the results are displayed on the monitor for review right at the point of care.

„In the case of cytological abnormality, the Multimodal Hyper Spectroscopy (MHS) provides an immediate result based on advanced digital technology, and because of its outstanding false negative rate it is a great aid and should be considered in the triage of such patients.”

„Use of Fluorescent and Reflective Spectroscopy (FRS) as a colposcopic adjunct was supported very favorably by women. Fewer women supported FRS replacing Pap smears. These high rates of approval by women should help the implementation of FRS technology.”
