Repromedix Launches Biological Clock Test For Women
"The Plan Ahead test represents an extraordinary advance in fertility diagnostics compared to what has been readily available to the general population," said Dr. Benjamin Leader, Chief Medical Officer. "Many fertility experts view the gold standard of egg supply measurement to be the number of eggs obtained through egg retrieval, an expensive procedure reserved for specialty fertility clinics involving hormone injections and a minimally invasive procedure. The Plan Ahead test offers similar information to the general public via a simple blood test."
Dr. Michael M. Alper, Harvard Medical School professor, and the medical director and co-founder of Boston IVF, an internationally renowned fertility treatment center, commented, "As more and more women delay pregnancy until their 30s and even their 40s, there is an urgent need for an accurate early assessment of their fertility. Unfortunately, we see far too many women late in the process when time is of the essence. The fertility field has been waiting for a test like this, and we are delighted to be the first practice to partner with Repromedix in providing this innovative test to women in the greater Boston area."
Paul Kowalski, President and VP of Sales, said, "A recent survey indicates that over 80% of women between the ages of 25-44 believe that the risk of fertility loss begins at age 35, while many experts believe the risk begins much earlier. We believe that the Plan Ahead test will provide an important tool for better education and lead to early diagnosis of potential fertility-related issues."
"For more than 14 years, Repromedix has been a pioneer and leader in the field of sophisticated reproductive diagnostics working in partnership with leading reproductive specialists across the country to help people start families," said Dr. Michael Burns, Chief Executive Officer. "Plan Ahead represents a new chapter in Repromedix's history. We are extraordinarily proud to be able to offer this innovative product with clinical validation and endorsement by some of the most well-respected fertility experts in the country. We look forward to the near future when Plan Ahead becomes the standard of care in assessing female fertility."
Repromedix introduces the Plan Ahead test today in Boston, Atlanta, Corona (CA), Norfolk (VA), Denver and Colorado Springs with strategic partnerships with the renowned fertility clinics: Boston IVF, Georgia Reproductive Specialists, The Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine (VA), Reproductive Medicine & Fertility Center (CO), and the Corona Institute for Reproductive Medicine & Fertility (CA). The Company expects to make the test available in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Columbia (SC), Raleigh, Indianapolis and Dallas in the near future. The suggested cost of the Plan Ahead test is $350. Women interested in obtaining the Plan Ahead test are encouraged to visit the Company's website: http://www.planaheadtest.com/us.
