Limitations of test

This screening test only tests for the chromosomal abnormalities requested. Normal test results do not eliminate the

possibility that your pregnancy may have other chromosomal abnormalities, birth defects, or other conditions. A normal result does

not guarantee a healthy pregnancy or baby. This test has limitations including false positives and false negatives. For these

reasons it is strongly recommended that no irreversible clinical decisions be made based on these screening results alone.
