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.

  1. Screening, not diagnosis: Risk calculations are statistical approaches and have limited diagnostic value. Calculated risks have no diagnostic value by themselves.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Method standard: FMF-certified Free β-hCG & PAPP-A kits are used for analysis.
  6. External quality assurance: The laboratory participates in UKAS-proficiency testing (EQAS) for maternal serum markers.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

FAQs on Double Marker Test in Jamshedpur

Is the Double Marker Test a diagnostic test?
No. It is a statistical risk screening. The software calculates the probability for Trisomy 21 and Trisomy 18/13 based on serum markers, maternal inputs, and NT scan data; it does not confirm or rule out a condition.
What is the exact screening window in Jamshedpur?
Screening is processed strictly between 8 weeks and 13 weeks of gestation based on the gestational age (GA) printed on the NT scan report. GA from the ultrasound report overrides LMP-based calculation.
Why is the NT scan report mandatory before sample collection?
The risk calculation workflow requires NT scan inputs (including GA and ultrasound parameters such as CRL/NT). Without the NT scan report, risk cannot be computed and the report cannot be released.
What information must be shared in advance for TRF accuracy?
Date of birth, current weight, type of pregnancy (single/twin), previous obstetric history, diabetes/smoking status, and NT scan GA must be verified for TRF completion and risk calculation. If critical inputs are missing or inconsistent, reporting can be delayed until the TRF is complete.
What happens if I visit a branch without prior booking?
If documentation and TRF details are not pre-verified, form completion and input verification may take around 20–30 minutes before collection. If all required information is pre-shared and verified, sample collection is usually completed within a few minutes.
Why is prior booking recommended for home collection in Jamshedpur?
Home collection routes are assigned early morning. If booked the previous day with complete information, collection can be scheduled from 6:30 AM onward. Same-morning booking may require additional scheduling time depending on technician route allocation. If TRF and maternal details are not shared in advance, on-site documentation may take additional time before sample collection.
What is the reporting time, and what can delay it?
Reporting time is around 48 hours from sample collection after complete TRF and NT scan inputs are received. If required clinical inputs are incomplete, reporting can be withheld until the information is received and verified.
Is fasting required?
No. Fasting is not required for this screening.
Can the Double Marker Test be performed after 14 weeks?
No. If gestational age exceeds 13 weeks, Double Marker screening cannot be performed. Second-trimester screening (Triple or Quadruple Marker) is indicated between 14–22 weeks.
Who operates the Double Marker service in Jamshedpur?
Healthcare Offers operates the Thyrocare branches in Sakchi, Kadma, and Mango and manages booking support, documentation coordination, and service assistance for these locations.
