The PartoSure Test is a rapid, qualitative test for detecting the presence of placental alpha microglobulin 1 (PAMG-1) in cervicovaginal secretions in pregnant women with signs and symptoms of early preterm labor. The presence of PAMG-1 in these women has shown to be a strong indicator of PTL.
Using a test with higher positive predictive value, such as PartoSure, may reduce costs by:
- Decreasing unnecessary admissions and acute interventions
- Reducing the length of stay of high-risk patients
- Minimizing unnecessary patient transfers
Key Advantages:
- High positive and negative predictive values (PPV & NPV)
- No need to wait 24 hours after a vaginal exam
- Optional speculum examination
- Results available in 5 minutes or less
- No specialized equipment or training required
- Broad gestational window: 20 weeks to 36 weeks and 6 days
