1. The results of this DNA test can be affected by the gestational period, method of sample storage, processing and transportation, mutations in an individual’s DNA and contamination during sample collection. In such cases a re-collection may be required, a refund will not be given.
2. Due to the limitation of the current method, some results may be false positive, false negative or inconclusive. This test is for non-legal purposes only. Confirmatory testing after birth is recommended.
3. I understand that samples collected before 10 weeks gestational age may have a low fetal fraction and may require a recollection, a refund will not be given for any inconclusive results.
4. An inconclusive result may be caused by a number of factors including early/inaccurate gestational age, low fetal fraction and biological factors including poor implantation and early miscarriage. Whilst testing at an earlier gestational age is feasible, this will result in a higher number of inconclusive results and a number of patients will not progress to term, a refund will not be given for any inconclusive results, rather a recollection will be offered.
5. All parties should agree to testing prior to applying for NIPPT testing as our refund policy applies - Cancelled tests prior to testing kits being issued will incur a $100 admin fee. When testing kits are issued DNAQ will withhold 50% of the purchase cost.”
