Comment with every RFFN released:
“Fibronectin result with other data is interpreted using QUiPP smartphone app at https://quipp.org/”
Comment added for results <50ng/mL (&FFNN) “For an appropriately collected specimen, a foetal fibronectin concentration less than 50 ng/mL indicates a >98% probability of not progressing to labour within 7 days. Am J Obstet. Gynaecol 2013: 208”
Comment added for results of 50 ng/mL and greater (&FFNP)
“For an appropriately collected specimen, a foetal fibronectin concentration greater than or equal to 50ng/mL indicates an increasing probability of progressing to labour within 7 days in proportion to the degree of elevation. Am J Obstet. Gynaecol 2013:208”
Test Method
Solid phase immunochromatographic assay using monoclonal anti-fFN antibody and goat anti human fibronectin antibody contained on individual cassettes. Read on Hologic Rapid fFn 10Q analyser.
