Clinical Significance
The Fetal Fibronectin assay is to be used as an aid in assessing the risk of preterm delivery in less than or equal to 7 or
14 days from the time of vaginal 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
and 6 days gestation.
The testing is further indicated for use in conjunction with other clinical information as an aid in assessing the risk of
preterm delivery in less than or equal to 34 weeks and 6 days when a cervicovaginal sample is obtained during a routine
prenatal visit between 22 weeks, 0 days and 30 weeks and 6 days of gestation in women with a singleton gestation.
