Extra-early pregnancy test OK'd by U.S.
NOWDiagnostics' ADEXUSDx hCG point-of-care test has been registered by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments and classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The test uses a single drop of capillary or whole blood to quickly diagnose pregnancy earlier than urine-based tests. It is the first single-step, capillary blood hCG test requiring no equipment to receive FDA 510(k) clearance.
The ADEXUSDx hCG Test is NOWDiagnostics' first FDA-cleared test available in the United States. Depending on the woman and her pregnancy, the test can detect pregnancy approximately two to eight days earlier than commonly available urine-based tests. Results are available in 10 minutes.
The diagnostic test kits can be processed in-clinic and by staff technicians and nurses.
NOWDiagnostics Inc. is based in Springdale and is funded by Bentonville-based NewRoad Ventures.
