Three steps to accurate Trisomy screening
1. Early pregnancy scan
2. Blood test
3. Results in 3-5 working days once lab is in receipt of bloods
Exceptional Performance
NIPT is validated for pregnant women of any age or risk categories and trusted by clinicians worldwide. AS EARLY AS 10 WEEKS, the NIPT Prenatal Test screens for the risk of trisomy 21(Down syndrome), 18 (Edward syndrome) and 13 (Patau syndrome).
Three steps to clear answers
While other commonly used tests for Down syndrome are performed later in pregnancy and require multiple clinic visits, NIPT delivers clear answers as early as the first trimester with a single blood draw.
1. A maternal blood sample is taken at week ten of pregnancy, or later.
2. DNA in the sample is analysed using proprietary NIPT technology.
3. Test results are reported to Numi Scan in 5 business days or less.
Your Results
The test result will give you a clear answer about the risk to your pregnancy of having any of the genetic conditions included in the test. All results will be given to you by Numi Scan. You should continue with your usual scan appointments before and following testing.
Are there problems this test will not detect?
The NIPT test does not provide information on physical defects, such as heart or brain abnormalities and spina bifida, or fetal growth. It is therefore advisable that you still have your NHS ultrasound scans at 11-13 weeks and at 20-22 weeks to examine the fetal anatomy and at 30-32 weeks to examine the fetal growth, if needed.
When do I expect to get the results?
- The results from the test will usually be available within 5 days and we will notify you as soon as we receive them by email.
- 3 out of 100 women will require a repeat test. We receive a result in approximately two thirds of these samples. Patients will not be charged if we are unable to obtain a result.
What would the results show?
- If the NIPT test shows that there is a high risk that the fetus has trisomy 21 or 18 or 13 it does not mean that the fetus definitely has one of these defects. If you want to be certain if the fetus has one of these defects you should have CVS or amnio.
- If the NIPT test shows that there is a low risk (less than 1 in 10,000) that the fetus has trisomy 21 or 18 or 13 it is unlikely that the fetus has one of these defects.
