Leaking amniotic fluid increases the risk of infection to both mother and baby and early detection can help to:
Prevent complications or premature birth.
Identify a possible membrane rupture, especially after amniocentesis.
Confirm that your water has broken so that you arrive at the hospital in time for a safe delivery.
As you wait for your baby, the AmnioSense gives you a little extra peace of mind - when you need it most. Risk of amniotic fluid leak are higher than normal during the 48 hours after amniocentesis tests, or when encountering unexplained wetness, or among women with family history of premature membrane rupture.
Indications for Use
Simply attach the special panty liner to your underwear and get on with your day. Wait until you feel a fluid leak, remove the indicator strip from the panty liner, and check for a change in colour. If the indicator strip is stained blue or green, amniotic fluid may be leaking from your uterus, or you may have a vaginal infection. You should consult your doctor, midwife or go to the hospital without delay.
If the indicator strip stains blue or green and then fades back to yellow, or if the colour does not change at all, the fluid leak is probably urine, which is common during pregnancy. For further diagnosis and medical care, report or show the results to your doctor. This product is designed to detect leaking amniotic fluid and identify cause of wetness during pregnancy. It can be used from week 36 onwards and also after amniocentesis. Positive results should be notified to your midwife or doctor for further diagnosis and medical care.
