NIFTY® - Non-Invasive Fetal TrisomY test

The World’s Leading Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT)

NIFTY® (Non-Invasive Fetal TrisomY test) is a safe, simple, non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), which offers screening for certain genetic conditions from as early as week 10 of pregnancy.

Using the latest genetic sequencing technology, NIFTY® has over >99% accuracy for the three most common trisomy conditions present at birth, which are Down Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome and Patau Syndrome.

NIFTY test is suitable for

Maternal age 35 years or
older at delivery

Fetal ultrasonographic findings indicating an increased risk of aneuploidy

Require reassurance following previous screening result

Contraindications for invasive prenatal testing, such as placenta prevaria, risk of miscarriage or HBV infection

History of a prior pregnancy with a trisomy

Received IVF Treatment or have previously suffered from habitual abortion

Available from week 10 of pregnancy, the NIFTY® test gives you an early option to know more about the genetic health of your baby.

Compared to traditional screening tests, the NIFTY® test offers higher accuracy and lower false positive rates. This means that less women will undergo invasive diagnostic procedures such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling which carry a 1-2% risk of miscarriage.

The NIFTY® test is available to any pregnant woman from the 10th week of pregnancy but is particularly suitable for pregnant women who exhibit certain indications which are highlighted below.

Remember, non-invasive prenatal testing may or may not be right for you. Prior to undertaking any non-invasive prenatal testing, you should consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding any risks, diagnoses, treatment and/or any other potentially relevant healthcare issues. Non-invasive prenatal testing is not diagnostic, which means that is does not test with 100% accuracy.
