The AmniSure ROM Test uses amniotic fluid test strips to detect the PAMG-1 protein marker of the amniotic fluid in vaginal discharge. The amniotic fluid test can be used to aid in the detection of ROM in pregnant women reporting signs, symptoms, or complaints suggestive of ROM.
The AmniSure ROM Test kit is a self-contained system that can serve as part of your overall clinical evaluation of PROM, which is crucial to ensure appropriate obstetric measures are taken in the event of a rupture. Failure to identify patients with ROM can result in the failure to intervene appropriately.
Conversely, the false diagnosis of ROM can lead to inappropriate interventions (e.g., hospitalization or induction of labor). Therefore the correct and timely diagnosis of ROM is of crucial importance for the clinician (2). Accurate diagnosis of [fetal] membranes rupture, however, remains a frequent clinical problem in obstetrics (2-4).
Other available tests have limitations or are in some degree invasive (2). The AmniSure ROM Test is a rapid, non-invasive, amniotic fluid test that can aid in the detection of ROM, providing rapid, easy-to-interpret and timely results. As an alternative to conventional methods of ROM detection, the AmniSure test has a 99% sensitivity and 98% specificity to support accuracy of negative and positive ROM clinical results.
