The AL-SENSE Kit guides pregnant women as well as clinicians to informed decisions regarding unidentified wetness.
Common Sense has developed unique (patented) chemical compositions that change colors and shows a stable stain when in contact with amniotic fluid, while stains created by urine, fade and vanish in less than thirty minutes.
The AL-SENSE, which is assembled on a non-intrusive panty-liner, offers a simple to use indicating tool that uses color identification for interpretation of the results:
A Blue Strip indicates possible amniotic fluid leakage and directs the patient to immediately consult her physician.
A Yellow Strip indicates that most likely wetness was not caused by amniotic fluid leakage. Such wetness may be caused by urine incontinence.
A total of 267 pregnant women were enrolled in 2 different clinical studies of the AL-SENSE Test Kit. The AL-SENSE, as a continuance test, demonstrated a sensitivity ranging from 96.4% to 100% (1, 2). The clinical diagnosis of amniotic leak that was done in the hospitals reached a sensitivity of 97.6% (2).
