Collection Requirements
Preferred Specimen(s) Whole blood full EDTA (lavender-top) tube and Whole blood full ACD-A or ACD-B (yellow-top) tube and 6 mL serum Collection Instructions EDTA (lavender-top): Maintain specimen at room temperature. Do not refrigerate. Collect EDTA (lavender-top) tube last. Traumatic draw can introduce thromboplastin and trap WBC and platelets. Refrigeration can precipitate fibrin and trap WBC and platelets. Dietary supplements containing biotin may interfere in assays and may skew analyte results to be either falsely high or falsely low. For patients receiving the recommended daily doses of biotin draw samples at least 8 hours following the last biotin supplementation. For patients on mega-doses of biotin supplements draw samples at least 72 hours following the last biotin supplementation.

Test Info
Obstetric Panel - This panel includes tests used for routine prenatal care during early pregnancy which have been recommended for all women during early pregnancy by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) [1]. An alternative panel the Obstetric Panel with Fourth Generation HIV (test code 93802) is available and may be ordered to simultaneously screen for HIV infection. Additional tests typically done in early pregnancy (but not included in this panel) include urinalysis tests for sexually transmitted infections and tuberculosis and blood glucose testing for women at high risk for gestational diabetes. The CBC with differential evaluates the levels and types of red blood cells white blood cells and platelets in the patient?s blood. This information can help identify conditions such as anemia low platelet count and other blood cell disorders [1]. The blood type including ABO and Rh status as well as the antibody screen will provide information about a woman?s current and/or future risk for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn. These tests may also be useful to define any special transfusion requirements [1]. Syphilis when transmitted from mother to fetus may cause birth defects and neonatal death [2]. Syphilis testing is performed using a combination of assays. The RPR is performed initially. If the result is reactive a titer and a confirmatory test (fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption assay; FTA-ABS) will be performed at additional cost. Hepatitis B a disease that affects the liver can be passed from mother to fetus [1]. Hepatitis B screening is performed with the hepatitis B surface antigen test. If positive additional confirmatory testing based on the test manufacturer?s FDA-approved recommendations will be performed at additional cost. Rubella or German measles can cause birth defects if transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy. Testing of the mother?s immune status against rubella will indicate if the mother and baby are protected from infection by the virus during this time. Vaccination for rubella during pregnancy is not recommended [1]. Note: Test results should be interpreted in the context of pertinent clinical and family history and physical examination findings.
