Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A multi-centered, prospective study, involving pregnant women presenting to the labor and delivery unit of collaborating clinical study sites with preterm labor and intact amniotic membranes with and without suspected Intra-Amniotic Infection (IAI).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A study on patients in preterm labor for whom the managing physician plans to perform amniocentesis to evaluate for possible infection using conventional, currently available methods. Vaginal fluid will be collected and analyzed and amniotic fluid will also. These tests will be run remotely and not reported to the clinician.

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

This is a multi-centered, prospective study, involving pregnant women presenting to the labor and delivery unit
Primary Study Purpose

DIAGNOSTIC

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Investigator is blinded to results of the analyzer but all patients have samples run on analyzer

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

All women eligible to participate

All women presenting who sign the consent and found eligible will have a VF and AF sample taken and analyzed on the Perilynx Analyzer to measure AF and VF fluid. This does not affect their regular standard of care and diagnosis

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Perilynx Analyzer to measure AF and VF fluid

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Hologic developed a rapid in-vitro diagnostic system composed of an analyzer and cassettes to identify women with intra-amniotic infection.
