Hiro Clinic offers state-of-the-art NIPT (new prenatal diagnostic test). This test is achieved by combining two highly accurate technologies from Illumina (Verinata) and Medicover.

The combination of Illumina (Verinata) and Medicover technologies ensures the highest level of accuracy and reliability, and the test results can only be provided by Hiro Clinic in Japan.

Advantages of combining two inspection systems

The Illumina (Verinata) and Medicover systems each have a high level of testing accuracy, but combining them has the great advantage of providing even more accurate results. If we get a positive result from Illumina (Verinata) and a negative result from Medicover, we make an overall assessment and take the positive score into account to make a final decision. This allows us to capture minute differences that might be missed by a single system and provide a more accurate diagnosis.

Approaches to improving accuracy

At Hiro Clinic, we don’t just treat test results as numbers – we dig deeper into the data behind them. Where results from Illumina (Verinata) and Medicover differ, laboratory experts and doctors jointly discuss the results and analyse each case in detail. Through this process, the accuracy of the test results is further improved and the most accurate information is provided to the patient.

Inspection reliability

This unique approach greatly improves the reliability of the test. If a positive score is negative, the result is reported as negative, protecting patients from unnecessary worry and stress. This highly accurate diagnostic process reflects our responsibility and expertise as a specialist genetic clinic and cements confidence in test results.
