The ROM Plus test is a rapid, non-instrumented, qualitative test for the detection of amniotic fluid in the vaginal discharge of pregnant patients who report signs, symptoms or complaints suggestive of rupture of membranes. The test uses the principle of immunochromatography to detect human placenta protein-12 (PP12) and Alpha-feta Protein (AFP) present in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women. The ROM Plus Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic device.

Specimen stable for 6 hours, ambient.
