But there are other possible causes, including problems with the placenta, having a small baby (small babies produce less amniotic fluid), and being well past your due date.

However, by implementing Vision ALD in the same setting as current standard diagnosis the savings from avoided referrals did not outweigh the cost of additional Vision ALD tests. This was altered to include reference to the patient benefit of avoiding the discomfort associated with a speculum examination. Few responses were received and only one comment from the sponsor resulted in a minor change to Recommendation 1. In the pad there is a strip that changes color from yellow to blue or green even with very small amounts of amniotic fluid.

GCR is an NHS employee, and the NHS has a financial interest in the guidance on which this work is based. The EAC conducted a more detailed sensitivity, threshold and impact analysis and determined that the cost savings were most sensitive to the midwife time for a CTG trace, followed by the time to administer a Vision ALD test and the proportion of patients with a negative Vision ALD test result. The sponsor’s model does not account for false negative Vision ALD test results nor for any costs relating to the identification or treatment of infections as included in the scope. As shown in Figure 2, during use, first amniotic fluid is detected the inboard that protective pad sticks to underwear 4, after the anemia of pregnant woman put on underwear 4, the side that strip amniotic fluid reagent paper 3 is arranged that makes amniotic fluid detect protective pad contacted with vaginal orifice.

Of the 34 women with suspected leaks, rupture of the membranes was confirmed in 10 cases and everyone was correctly identified by the AmnioSense panty-liner. This was demonstrated beyond doubt by using samples of amniotic fluid taken from 50 women, between 16 and 23 weeks gestation, who were undergoing checks for foetal abnormalities. The EAC recalculated the diagnostic accuracy of Vision ALD using speculum examination as the comparator: sensitivity of 97 % (95 % CI 93–99 %), negative predictive value of 96 % (95 % CI 92–98 %).The A mnioPad detector is a self-test allowing pregnant (women) to detect probable leakage of amniotic fluid whenever they feel any wetness at any stage of their pregnancy. PROM occurs in 8–10 % of full-term pregnancies [ 9, 10] and is followed by labour within 24 h in 60 % of cases [ 11].

Plus, if you think you have an issue, you can take it with you to the doctor to help determine what the problem is. They can test negative when you are, and can also test positive in the presence of blood (even blood you do not see).PPROM, which is more serious because it can lead to premature labor and birth, happens in only about 3 percent of pregnancies. Vision ALD was determined to be cost-saving only when it is administered at a lower clinician cost (for example, by a midwife at the GP practice or the patient’s home) when the patient would otherwise have gone to a high-cost scenario for a speculum examination (GP or ADU). Base-case results are presented in Table 6 as per patient cost differences: Vision ALD minus standard care. As a kind of restriction, there is a shallow line of cut on the protective pad top, with the convenient reagent paper of extracting out; Described strip amniotic fluid reagent paper is the accurate ph reagent paper of 5.

The high sensitivity (97 %) and high negative predictive value (96 %) means it can reliably rule out negative cases of PROM and PPROM in the populations included in these studies. Referrals to secondary-care clinic may be avoided by using Vision ALD in the community setting, which could be cost saving and release clinic resources.
