Details

The new innovative Vision ALD is a non-intrusive and easy to use self-test for the possible detection of amniotic fluid leakage during pregnancy. Amniotic fluid leakage that is left undetected can cause a host of complications to both mother and the unborn baby.

Vision ALD is used by pregnant women in the following situations:

• Whenever encountering unidentified wetness or
• After amniocentesis or
• To determine whether waters have broken

The benefits for a mum-to-be to continuously monitor between possible amniotic fluid leakage or urine are:

• Helps prevent false alarms that cause unnecessary stress and doctor, hospital or midwife visits
• Gives the mum-to-be extra peace of mind while she waits for the delivery of her baby

How Vision ALD works:

Vision ALD detects elevated pH levels which may indicate amniotic fluid leakage. A pH level greater than 5 will stain the indicator strip a blue-green colour. A normal vaginal pH is 3.5 to 4.5.

Clinical trials have shown that Vision ALD demonstrated a sensitivity ranging from 95.7% to 100%.

Vision ALD at a glance:

• Easy to use self-test, used just like a regular panty liner
• Gives the convenience of ‘at home’ testing, which is non-invasive
• Can be used by all pregnant women to differentiate between urine and possible amniotic fluid leakage
• Reacts to the smallest amount of amniotic fluid leakage
• Allows for early detection of amniotic fluid leakage, which if left untreated can cause a host of complications for both mother and the unborn baby
• Continuously monitors amniotic fluid leakage, therefore giving the mum-to-be extra peace of mind
