The proof of principle test(2) showed AmnioSense was 100% effective at identifying amniotic fluid.Based on the evidence, NICE has recommended the adoption of AmnioSense within clinical practice in the community. In its conclusion, NICE(1) reported that AmnioSense is sufficiently accurate to exclude a leak of amniotic fluid, would avoid unnecessary speculum examinations and has the potential to generate cost savings.Here is a quick summary of some of the proven science behind AmnioSense: Using AminoSense means that both healthcare professionals and the expectant mother can be confident that any leaks of amniotic fluid will be quickly identified.ĭemonstrating the efficacy and accuracy of AmnioSense

If the result is caused by amniotic fluid the blue-green colour will remain for at least two hours. Urine has a pH of between 4 and 8, so can cause a colour change, but ammonia causes a reagent to return the liner to its original colour within 10 minutes. Amniotic fluid has a pH of 6.7 or more, and if the strip comes into contact with a moisture with a pH of more than 6.5 it will turn a blue-green colour. The product, which takes the form of a panty-liner contains a two-stage diagnostic polymer strip that can tell if a pregnant woman is leaking amniotic fluid. It has been proven to be as accurate as hospital-based examinations* and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) concluded that using AmnioSense alongside appropriate changes to clinical practice in the community should be encouraged. It has been analysed and tested by several independent clinical studies and reviews, all confirming its efficacy and accuracy.

NICE APPROVED NON-INVASIVE TEST FOR AMNIOTIC FLUIDĪmnioSense is a new, evidence-based non-invasive test for detecting amniotic fluid.
