Table 1 Comparison of HPV test results on cobas 4800 and cobas 6800 systems on samples from women with no or low grade lesions (controls, N = 925) and women with CIN2+ lesions (cases, N = 60); HPV prevalence by the cobas 4800 assay was 7.2% among controls and 100% among cases

From: HPV testing for cervical cancer screening: technical improvement of laboratory logistics and good clinical performance of the cobas 6800 in comparison to the 4800 system
