Description

FEMOFLOR® -  an innovative test of genital microbiocenosis assessment

Presents complex quantitative assessment of microbiocenosis via PCR in real- time method.

In terms of clinical relevance of the test Femoflor, the following capabilities are achieved at initial admission:

• Identification of the etiological causes of infection;

• Diagnostics of dysbiotic disorders and their degree of severity;

• Ability to determine the amount of necessary therapy;

• Ability to perform dynamic observation;

• Monitoring treatment effectiveness;

• Monitoring restoration of normal vaginal flora;

• Ability to prescribe or adjust therapy depending on the test result (analysis takes 1-2 days).

The technology is recommended for use in the following situations:

• Clinical and/or laboratory signs of urogenital inflammation;

Disbiotic disorders with various influences, including:

• Treatment by antibiotics (both local and general), hormones and cytostatics;

• Use of contraceptives, including intrauterine devices (IUDs);

• Douching;

• Change of sexual partner;

•Hypothermia;

• Impending surgical manipulation of the pelvic organs with a high risk of infectious complications;

• Presence of complicated obstetric or gynecological history (recurrent miscarriage, perinatal loss, infertility);

• Preconception preparation;

• Pregnancy (all the trimesters);

• Discrepancy between clinical and laboratory test results;

• Atrophic vaginitis (senile), examination of postmenopausal women;

• Analysis of the state of microbiocenosis in healthy women (it is optimal to take with gynecological smear).

Principal advantages of Femoflor

• Reliable qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of reproductive infections, even in the case of small symptomatic or asymptomatic disease - reducing the risk of pregnancy complications and fetal pathology;

• Quantitative determination of anaerobes - the main group of microorganisms causing disease recurrence of lower division of women urogenital tract (diagnosis by other methods is difficult, lengthy or impossible);

• Lack of subjectivity and reducing the impact of human factors - the study is carried out by one of the most modern and precise instrumental methods - real-time PCR;

• The simplicity of preanalitics (does not require preservation of living organisms, analysis of DNA fragments of microbiota components is carried out);

• Fast obtaining results (term of performance day), a convenient form with color markers

FEMOFLOR Plus: needs two biological samples:

• Vaginal swab for quantitative assessment of opportunistic microflora (aerobes, anaerobes, yeasts and the group of genital mycoplasmas),the patogen Trichomonas vaginalis and the normoflora of Lactobacillus;
• Cervical swab - for detection of the sexual transmitted cervical pathogens: Chlamydia trachomatis и Neisseria gonorrhoeaе;
