Women's & Children's » Amnisure® ROM Test

AmniSure® is a new diagnostic that solves a long-standing problem in obstetric practice - diagnosis of ruptured fetal membranes (ROM). Premature ROM (PROM) occurs in about one out of ten pregnant women and constitutes the major factor of pre-and post-natal complications. In the U.S., at least 30% of pregnant women are checked for PROM during pregnancy.

Simply put, PROM occurs when a woman’s amniotic fluid breaks prematurely (not followed by labor in 24-48 hours). If the rupture of the amniotic sac that results in the leakage of the fluid is not detected and treated in a timely and accurate manner (during 24 hours since the rupture’s occurrence), infection and other serious complications for the neonate and the mother may occur. Diagnosis of ruptured fetal membranes is of crucial importance at any term in a pregnancy to ensure timely and proper hospitalization and treatment.
