TODA AMNIODIAG 5 strip® is an immunochromatographic test on a cassette that allows for the detection of fetal membrane rupture by highlighting the presence of the protein IGFBP-1 from the amniotic fluid of the pregnant woman. The test utilizes a pair of monoclonal antibodies to detect the protein from a vaginal swab.
The detection of IGFBP-1 in vaginal swabs enables a reliable diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes, thereby avoiding unnecessary hospitalization and costs. Additionally, during a premature rupture of the membranes, the fetus is exposed to significant infectious risks, particularly streptococcus B, which can lead to the death of the infant
