PRO•Mcomplete™ Test Kits

A rapid and accurate diagnosis of PROM improves patient outcomes and reduces overall hospital costs. The diagnosis of PROM is based primarily on traditional methods that have been utilized for over 60 years. Traditional methods include the patient’s clinical history and physical examination using a speculum. The diagnosis of membrane rupture is typically confirmed by the visualization of amniotic fluid passing from the cervical canal and pooling in the vagina; a basic pH test of vaginal fluid (Amniotest™), or arborization (ferning) of dried vaginal fluid, which is identified under microscopic evaluation. Despite this, diagnosing PROM remains a common problem, as there is no single universally accepted method for confirming the rupture of membranes.
