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 (6).
Results in 5 minutes with our 4-step testing procedure (6)
Published studies suggest a lower rate of false positive test results and associated higher PPVs, such as those seen in the PartoSure Test, may contribute to:
• Decreasing unnecessary admissions and acute interventions
• Reducing the length of stay of high risk patients
• Minimizing unnecessary patient transfers
