      What is IRA?

A simple process to provide a first trimester Down Syndrome screening result at the time the Nuchal Translucency is measured.

As early as 9 weeks of gestation, but up to 13 weeks the patients blood specimen is collected and sent to NTD Labs to be analyzed for free Beta and PAPP-A.  This program is designed to be utilized by the patient with the home collection packet.  If the physician would rather, the blood specimen can be obtained in their office. 

Between 11 weeks 1 day and 13 weeks 6 days gestation (when the NT is being performed) the physician connects to NTD Labs and inputs the NT data.  A complete report including the NT and Biochemistry can be printed immediately at the physicians office.
