Useful For
The Rapid fFN Cassette for use in the TLiIQ® System is an in vitro diagnostic device for the detection of fetal fibronectin in cervicovaginal secretions to be used as an aid to rapidly assess the risk of preterm delivery in ≤ 7 or ≤ 14 days from the time of cervicovaginal sample collection in pregnant women with signs and symptoms of early preterm labor, intact amniotic membranes and minimal cervical dilatation (< 3 cm), sampled between 24 weeks, 0 days and 34 weeks, 6 days of gestation.
The Rapid fFN test is further indicated for use in conjunction with other clinical information as an aid to rapidly assess the risk of preterm delivery in ≤ 34 weeks, 6 days when a cervicovaginal sample is obtained during a routine prenatal visit between 22 weeks, 0 days and 30 weeks, 6 days of gestation in women with a singleton pregnancy.
