The AmnioStat-FLM-PG Kit is intended to be used for the immunological detection of phosphatidylglycerol (PG) in amniotic fluid to determine fetal lung maturity of the fetus collected from transabdominal or vaginal pool samples.

The AmnioStat-FLM-PG Kit is an immunological semi-quantitative agglutination test for determining the presence of phosphatidylglycerol in human amniotic fluid at concentrations indicative of fetal lung maturity. The AmnioStat-FLM-PG Kit is comprised of five (5) components and a disposable agglutination cards (cardboard with laminate). The five (5) components that comprise the kit include three (3) kit controls, Negative Control, Catalog #91013, Low Positive Control, Catalog #91027, High Positive Control, Catalog #91028, two (2) reagents, Reagent A, Catalog #91012 and Reagent B, Catalog #91029, and one (1) Buffer, Catalog #91011. The three (2) controls (negative, low positive, and high positive) in the AmnioStat-FLM-PG Kit are run with each test. The AmnioStat-FLM-PG Kit can be used to run six (6) patient test samples. Each patient sample is run on an individual agglutination card with a set of controls. The AmnioStat-FLM-PG Kit is a next generation kit based upon the same immunological agglutination test as AmnioStat-FLM (K822150) previously cleared for marketing. The immunological agglutination reaction is the same between the AmnioStat-FLM (K822150) and the AmnioStat-FLM-PG kit. The AmnioStat-FLM-PG Kit incorporates the use of Sudan Black B into one of the kit reagents which makes the differentiation of the three (3) kit controls more distinguishable. The AmnioStat-FLM (K822150) is performed on a glass slide that requires the use of a mirror to distinguish and differentiate the kit controls based upon clarity of the background and the size of the agglutinated particles. The AmnioStat-FLM-PG is performed on a disposable agglutination card that is white and does not require the use of a mirror to distinguish and differentiate the kit controls.
