Hygeia Touch Inc. developed a safe and comfortable vaginal self-sampling device "Hygeia Touch Self Sampling Kit for Women" to self-collect the vaginal discharge sample for high-risk Human Papillomavirus (hrHPV) detection. This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the agreement of hrHPV detections between vaginal self-sampling using "Hygeia Touch Self Sampling Kit for Women" and physician sampling, and these results will be applied for TFDA registration approval.
