Note
A double marker screening and risk assessment can be possible in the 8th to 13th week window of pregnancy using FMF-certified SSDW Lab 6 software, or in the 9th to 13th week using non-certified PRISCA 4 software. The accurate days of pregnancy are calculated from the gestational age (GA) printed on the USG report, not based on the last menstrual period (LMP). If gestational age exceeds 13 weeks, double marker screening cannot be performed; second-trimester screening (Triple or Quadruple Marker) is indicated. The screening window for both triple and quad markers is from the 14th to the 22nd week of pregnancy.
FMF certification applies to the reporting software and risk-calculation protocol, not to the diagnostic lab itself.
Screening Window Clarification
When FMF-certified risk calculation software is used, screening can be performed between 8–13 weeks of gestation (based on NT scan GA). Some risk-calculation models may apply narrower operational windows such as 11–13 weeks, depending on software protocol.

Laboratory Explanation & Risk Calculation Limits
The Double Marker Test is a statistical screening. The calculated risk is generated by software using biochemical marker values along with maternal and ultrasound inputs. The risk estimate has no diagnostic value by itself and must be interpreted by the treating clinician.
- Screening, not diagnosis: Risk calculations are statistical approaches and have limited diagnostic value. Calculated risks have no diagnostic value by themselves.
- Input accuracy controls output: The calculated risk depends on the accuracy of critical information provided, including ultrasound (NT scan, the first-trimester USG for Nuchal Translucency scan) details and maternal details, including accurate age, weight, lifestyle, and clinical history.. Incorrect information may significantly alter the risk assessment. Even minor weight errors or incorrect gestational age entry can shift calculated risk percentiles. As a Standard Operating Protocol (SOP), the lab can’t release the report till the complete information is received.
- Markers + maternal factors: The final risk estimate uses biochemical parameters (Free β-hCG and PAPP-A) together with maternal demographic characteristics, and maternal medical and obstetric history. The calculation is optimal when accurate critical information is provided in the TRF / ultrasound report.
- MoM: Reports will display marker values and MoM (Multiples of the Median) used by the screening software; ultrasound inputs (NT/CRL) can also appear as MoM values.
- Method standard: FMF-certified Free β-hCG & PAPP-A kits are used for analysis.
- External quality assurance: The laboratory participates in UKAS-proficiency testing (EQAS) for maternal serum markers.
- Calculation limits: Risks cannot be calculated for triplets or higher-order gestations. In twin pregnancies with fetal demise (vanishing twin), risk estimation can be calculated but may be unreliable.
- Responsibility boundary: Risk estimation is software-based and depends on clinical inputs provided at the time of testing; therefore, inaccurate inputs may alter the computed risk assessment.
