Overview

AmniSure® is a new diagnostic device developed by N-Dia, Inc that solves a long-standing problem in obstetric practice: the diagnosis of premature rupture of fetal membrane (PROM). PROM occurs in about one out of ten women and constitutes a major factor in pre- and post-natal complications. At least 30% of pregnant women are checked for PROM during pregnancy.

Simply put, PROM occurs when a woman’s amniotic fluid breaks prematurely (not followed by labor in 24-48 hours). If the rupture of the amniotic sac that results in the leakage of the fluid is not detected and treated in a timely and accurate manner (during 24 hours since the rupture’s occurrence), infection and other serious complications for the neonate and the mother may occur. Diagnosis of ruptured fetal membranes is of crucial importance at any term in a pregnancy to ensure timely and proper hospitalization and treatment.
