About this study

To show that having less qualified personnel (non-Laboratory trained professionals) perform the test yields the same result as if a Laboratory trained professional performed the test.

Read the detailed description

The main goal of this study is to show that when performed by less qualified personnel, the AmniSure® ROM Test is so simple and accurate that the likelihood of erroneous results by the Intended-User is negligible and that the test poses no unreasonable risk of harm to the patient if performed incorrectly.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SymptomaticIndividuals with signs, symptoms or suspicion of membrane rupture at 11 to 42 weeks gestation that will receive the AmniSure ROM test.
Receives: Device: AmniSure ROM test

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The evaluation the clinical performance of the AmniSure® ROM test performed by the Intended-User relative to the clinical diagnosis of rupture of membranes.

    The investigational AmniSure ROM test will be compared to the three standard tests of nitrazine, ferning and pooling to determine rupture of fetal membranes.

    Measured: One time at time of enrollment

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The evaluation the clinical performance of the AmniSure® ROM test performed by the Intended-User relative to the clinical diagnosis of rupture of membranes. (time frame: One time at time of enrollment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01847820, which also lists 32 linked publications.
