TruScreen Group Limited (NZX/ASX:TRU) is pleased to announce that its Vietnamese distributor
GHS has ordered 10 TruScreen cervical cancer screening devices and 1,800 SUS, marking the
commencement of their major commercial rollout of TruScreen in Vietnam.

GHS has targeted 64 leading hospitals for commercial acceptance of TruScreen and will use the initial
shipment of 10 devices and 1,800 SUS as the first stage in their planned rollout of TruScreen across
Vietnam. The rollout builds on market acceptance and key opinion leader initiatives conducted by
GHS including validation by leading hospitals. This culminated in TruScreen being included in the
Vietnamese MOH Technical List. TruScreen was presented to leading gynaecologists at the Vietnam
National Gynaecologic Conference on 24 May 2024.

The deployment will facilitate the screening and early detection and management of cervical cancer
in Vietnam. This is a significant step towards the nationwide adoption of TruScreen in the Vietnamese
public health sector.

As previously announced (NZX/ASX 20 May 2024) this initial Installation will be followed by further
sales continuing through the latter half of CY2024 and into 2025.
CEO Marty Dilon commented:

"We are excited to see Gorton Health Services take this pivotal step towards the commercialisation
of TruScreen technology in Vietnam. The purchase and subsequent deployment of our devices will
significantly impact the cervical cancer screening landscape in Vietnam. We are confident that
TruScreen's innovative technology will contribute to achieving the World Health Organization's targets
for cervical cancer screening in Vietnam."

This announcement has been approved by the Board.

Glossary:
Pap smear (the Papanicolaou smear) test involves gathering a sample of cells from the cervix, with
a special brush. The sample is placed on a glass slide or in a bottle containing a solution to
preserve the cells. Then it is sent to a laboratory for a pathologist to examine under a
microscope. https://www.cancer.net/navigating-cancer-care/diagnosing-cancer/tests-and-
procedures/pap-test
LBC (the liquid-based cytology) test, transfers a thin layer of cells, collected with a brush from the
cervix, onto a slide after removing blood or mucus from the sample. The sample is preserved so
other tests can be done at the same time, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV)
test https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/cervical-cancer/diagnosis

HPV (human papilloma virus) test is done on a sample of cells removed from the cervix, the same
sample used for the Pap test or LBC. This sample is tested for the strains of HPV most commonly
linked to cervical cancer. HPV testing may be done by itself or combined with a Pap test and/or
LBC. This test may also be done on a sample of cells which a person can collect on their own.

Sensitivity and specificity mathematically describe the accuracy of a test which reports the
presence or absence of a condition. If individuals who have the condition are considered "positive"
and those who don't are considered "negative", then sensitivity is a measure of how well a test can
identify true positives and specificity is a measure of how well a test can identify true negatives:
• Sensitivity (true positive rate) is the probability of a positive test result, conditioned on
the individual truly being positive.
• Specificity (true negative rate) is the probability of a negative test result, conditioned on
the individual truly being negative (Sensitivity and specificity – Wikipedia).
