Harmony Prenatal test (basic) in Salamanca

Before having this test done, it is advisable to have an ultrasound in order to know the exact date of the pregnancy, and therefore avoid possible anomalies that modify the parameters of the test and resulting in wrong data.

Once the ultrasound is performed, the non-invasive prenatal test is performed at the Eurofins Laboratory - Puntolab Clinical Analysis, consisting in a blood analysis. 

This is sufficient to obtain the results after testing the sample. This type of process reduces the number of subsequent follow-up tests resulting from a positive result.

After the blood collection, the sample will be sent to the Laboratory for its analysis, and you will need to wait a few days for the results.

The non-invasive prenatal test is a very simple and easy test to perform, with a waiting time for results of only 5-8 working days.

Once the sample is collected and sent to the Laboratory for its analysis, the group of experts from Megalab Laboratories will prepare a results report that will be available in 5-8 working days. 

Megalab's team of geneticists will explain how to access the results:

• You will be provided with a password to access your private area.
• From there, you will be able to check the status of the results report.
• In case they are not yet available, it will appear as "pending".
• Finally, you will be given the contact number of the laboratory at the Eurofins Laboratory - Puntolab Clinical Analysis, in case you have any questions while you are waiting for the results.

After the blood collection and its analysis, the results reflected in the test report may reveal the following information:

• Negative result: discards the possibility of Down Syndrome, trisomies 18 and 13, and other alterations in the sexual chromosomes with maximum reliability, which is 99,9%, not 100%, since non-invasive prenatal tests are not diagnostic tests. The reliability for Down's syndrome is superior to the triple prenatal screening currently performed in the public health system (sensitivity 85%) or to screening plus genetic ultrasound (sensitivity 90%).
• Positive result: you should then take invasive diagnostic tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic biopsy. The possibility of having a chromosomal alteration is very, very high, but not high enough to make decisions about the future of this pregnancy. Amniocentesis has a 0.5% risk of miscarriage, but positive test findings must always be confirmed.
• Test with no result: sometimes insufficient foetal cells are obtained in the maternal blood sample. At <5%. In this particular case, the test can be repeated. In half of them, we get a result on the second attempt (at no additional cost to you). Finally, in 0.1-2.5% of cases, we do not get a result (depending on the brand used).

However, in the case of Harmony testing the rate of inconclusive results in less than 1%.

If the results are positive and there’s risk for anomalies, you can have a consultation with the laboratory’s genetic counsellor, via call, so that he/she can inform you about the implications of the results for your baby. This call consultation is included in the price of the non-invasive prenatal test.
