I was guided to a private room, and while hydrating with mineral water, I received an explanation. There were various plans available for NIPT, and although I was a bit confused, I was able to decide on the plan again by watching a video on a tablet on the day of the appointment. I talked directly with the doctor and confirmed the final plan. I had concerns and things I wanted to ask, but since the nurses had a gentle demeanor, I found it easy to ask questions, and they explained everything thoroughly, which alleviated my anxiety. The blood draw was done very skillfully with minimal pain. I thought the test would take about an hour, but it was completed in about 30 minutes. The results were notified five days after the blood draw. Although there are various anxieties during pregnancy, I think it was good to be able to eliminate concerns about chromosomal abnormalities early, so I am glad I took the test.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"review_item\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/nipt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sapporo-review_05.png\" alt=\"Customer Feedback\">\n                            <p>There are clinics nationwide, and since there was a lot of information available on the internet, I decided to undergo prenatal testing here. Upon arriving at the clinic, my first impression was that it was clean and the entire floor had a bright image. The color scheme of the chairs was red, and the interior was simple, but it felt clean. The reception staff also greeted me with smiles throughout, which reassured me. I was quickly shown to a private room, and I was given a PET bottle of water, which I appreciated as a gesture of consideration for pregnant women. While drinking this, I watched an explanation video on a tablet. After that, there was a remote explanation from the doctor. The doctor was also smiling and had a good demeanor. I chose the affordable 90,000 yen course and mutual aid option. Although the needle for the blood draw was thicker than usual, I didn&#8217;t feel much pain, and the nurse was skilled. The process was very smooth and completed in about 45 minutes! I thought it would take longer, but it finished quickly, which was helpful. Thank you very much!<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"review_item\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/nipt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sapporo-review_04.png\" alt=\"Customer Feedback\">\n                            <p>The access from Sapporo Station was good, and I was able to get there without getting lost. The clinic inside was clean, and the nurses were attentive and made me feel relaxed. I first watched a video about NIPT and then had a remote consultation with the doctor. During that time, I could discuss any questions or concerns and the details of the plans. The doctor who attended to me was very calm, and I was able to listen to the explanation in a relaxed manner. The nurses also paid attention to details, such as ensuring the room was not too hot, and they chatted lightly during the blood draw, showing constant consideration. I was told the results would be notified within five days, but I received them on the evening of the third day. Additionally, it was good to be able to check the progress of the test from My Page. I had the test done to alleviate anxiety, and I think it was good that I took it.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"review_item\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/nipt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sapporo-review_03.png\" alt=\"Customer Feedback\">\n                            <p>I had been concerned about NIPT before getting pregnant, but since it is a private service, it is expensive and I heard that follow-up support is sparse at non-accredited facilities, so I was hesitant. Among these, Hiro Clinic stood out because: \u2460 it has a nationwide network, \u2461 there are various testing plans that allow you to choose according to your budget and items you want to check, and \u2462 if the result is positive, you can receive amniocentesis coverage if you join the mutual aid association. I decided to undergo NIPT. I made an appointment on the same day and came to the clinic smoothly without hesitation. It is a small clinic inside a building, and although the doctor\u2019s demeanor was not very friendly, the nurses\u2019 responses were good, and the blood draw was performed efficiently. The results arrived by email in about five days, which is quite fast, so the anxiety while waiting for the results was short, which was very good. I heard that fetal ultrasound is also available in big cities like Tokyo, so if it becomes available in Sapporo in the future, I would definitely want to use it along with the test next time.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"review_item\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/nipt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sapporo-review_02.png\" alt=\"Customer Feedback\">\n                            <p>My current obstetrician is not positive about prenatal testing and did not affirm my desire to undergo it. Therefore, I collected various information about prenatal testing myself and discovered Hiro Clinic. The price, location, and test duration met my preferences, so I promptly made a reservation and visited the clinic. The actual clinic was clean, and the staff\u2019s response was very good. The explanation of the test was thorough with video viewing and Q&#038;A. The blood draw was also well done; although the needle was a bit thicker, the pain was similar to or less than usual blood draws. The time spent in the clinic was less than an hour. It was over in no time. I am aware that there are various opinions on prenatal testing, but as the person undergoing the test, I have no regrets about having it done. I am truly glad to have met Hiro Clinic. If I have another pregnancy, I would definitely come back here.<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"review_item\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/nipt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/sapporo-review_01.png\" alt=\"Customer Feedback\">\n                            <p>Since I had previously undergone NIPT at a Hiro Clinic in Saitama, I was having trouble registering my email address. When I called, the reception staff kindly assisted me. On the day of the test, everyone from the reception to the nurses and doctors was pleasant, and the test proceeded smoothly. Given my age, I decided to undergo the test at this clinic, where the results come out quickly. I had the test on a Saturday morning and received the results by Wednesday evening.

Hiro Clinic NIPT Sapporo Ekimae Clinic is a <strong>non-certified facility<\/strong>. Comparing five points \u2014 test scope, age restrictions, referral letters, result speed, and cost \u2014 will help you find the facility that suits you best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Certified Facilities vs. Hiro Clinic Sapporo Ekimae (Non-Certified Facility): Comparison Table<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main differences between the two come down to testing flexibility and ease of access. The table below summarizes how to choose when testing in Sapporo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Comparison<\/th><th>Certified Facilities<\/th><th>Hiro Clinic Sapporo Ekimae (Non-Certified Facility)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Test scope<\/td><td>Mainly the three trisomies (21, 18, 13). Fetal sex is not tested.<\/td><td>The three basic conditions plus all chromosomes, microdeletions\/duplications (up to 143 types), and fetal sex.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Age restriction<\/td><td>Often limited to mothers aged 35 or older at delivery.<\/td><td>No age restriction. All pregnant women are eligible.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Referral letter<\/td><td>Usually requires a referral from your regular obstetrician.<\/td><td>No referral required. You can be tested once a fetal heartbeat is confirmed.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Result speed<\/td><td>Typically 1\u20132 weeks, as samples are often sent overseas.<\/td><td>In partnership with a domestic testing institution (Tokyo Health Inspection Center), results in about 5 days on average (as fast as 2 days).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost<\/td><td>Varies by facility.<\/td><td>Plans start in the \u00a560,000s for the three basic conditions, up to full-coverage plans.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Testing method<\/td><td>Generally requires an in-clinic visit.<\/td><td>In addition to in-clinic visits, an at-home &#8220;Home NIPT&#8221; option is also available.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Difference in Testing Accuracy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no difference in testing accuracy between certified and non-certified facilities. Some people worry that accuracy might be lower at a non-certified facility, but there is no need for concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most certified facilities in Japan use Illumina&#8217;s &#8220;VeriSeq NIPT Solution V2.&#8221; Hiro Clinic was the first in Japan to introduce this same system, and testing is carried out to the same standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Testing Institution in Charge: Tokyo Health Inspection Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>NIPT at Sapporo Ekimae Clinic is carried out in partnership with a domestic testing institution. The institution in charge is the &#8220;Tokyo Health Inspection Center.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tokyo Health Inspection Center is <strong>a testing institution that was accredited as a certified NIPT facility from 2022 to 2024<\/strong>.
