[quote=Anonymous]What do you mean they aren't regulated? Most laboratory tests are not FDA regulated, that's just not how it works. There all sorts of guidelines and statistics these laboratories must prove to be CLIA approved or NY state (notoriously hard) approved . NIPS is a SCREEN. It is not diagnostic. If you want a definite answer, get a CVS or amniocentesis. Your strep test isn't 100% either. A pap smear isn't 100% either. Mammogram, not 100%-plenty of false positives and false negatives there. These are SCREENS. They identify a high or lower risk. They are not telling you for sure. So yes, they will sometimes be wrong. That is how medical screening generally works. Rant over.[/quote]
