All women of childbearing age require the accurate determination of their pregnancy status prior to medical intervention. Standard rapid qualitative urine tests fall short of this requirement in 3 critical ways:
Collecting samples from incapacitated patients in urgent situations is difficult
The results are subjective and can be biased
Monitoring of pregnancy status is not possible with a qualitative test
The RAMP Total β-hCG test gives medical professionals the ability to make treatment decisions based on pregnancy status immediately after patient arrival by testing routinely collected EDTA whole blood.
Clear results drive efficient decision making allowing better patient triage
Testing is possible for all patients regardless of their condition
