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
