Actim® Partus

Actim® Partus is a fast and reliable point-of-care test to identify pregnant women with a real risk of preterm or imminent delivery, even before visible signs. Preterm delivery (birth that occurs before the 37th week of pregnancy) is the leading cause of newborn morbidity and mortality. Early detection of high-risk pregnancies is challenging. Half of pregnant women experience associated symptoms, yet only 20 % of these are at real risk of immediate or preterm delivery. Actim Partus is a simple and accurate rapid test to identify or rule out the risk of preterm delivery from week 22 until birth. The test can be used for all pregnant women, and it is reliable even in the presence of interfering substances. A negative Actim Partus result indicates that imminent delivery is highly unlikely; low-risk patients can thus return home, overtreatment is avoided, and valuable resources are saved.
