For women of any age or risk category, Harmony has been tested extensively in pregnant women ages 18 to 50. Identifying 99% of trisomy 21 cases and a false-positive rate of less than 0.1% in clinical testing¹, Harmony minimizes the chance further testing will be recommended due to a positive result.
In some provinces the cost for the Harmony test is covered by provincial health insurance plans for women who meet specific clinical criteria. These criteria vary but may include age of the mother at delivery, a positive first trimester screen or maternal serum screen, findings on ultrasound, or a previous pregnancy with chromosome abnormality. Please check with your physician to inquire. For those patients self-paying please be aware that some private, supplemental insurance plans also reimburse for the cost of the Harmony Test. Please check with your insurance provider for more details.

Harmony analyzes a sample of the mother’s blood, typically as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy. There are no special preparation instructions prior to the test being performed.
"If the Harmony prenatal test shows you are high risk, it does not necessarily mean that the pregnancy has one of these genetic conditions. Harmony has a less than 0.1% false-positive rate for trisomies 21, 18 and 13¹. This means fewer than 1 in 1,000 Harmony tests yields a false-positive result. Your healthcare provider may offer you a follow-up diagnostic procedure to confirm."

Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas are common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Chlamydia and gonorrhea are caused by bacteria, while trichomonas is caused by a parasite. Many people with these infections do not experience symptoms, which is why regular testing is important. If left untreated, they can lead to serious health complications and can be passed to sexual partners.
No. Consulting with a healthcare provider for a full assessment is essential when an STI is suspected. This product does not remove the need for or replace the advice of a healthcare provider when an STI is suspected.
This product is intended for individuals who are curious about their chlamydia, gonorrhea, and/or trichomonas status for wellness purposes only.
The STI Panel screening test detects only genital chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas from a urine sample source. A negative result from this screening test does not rule out an STI at another anatomic site (e.g., throat, rectum), or infection with another STI that is not tested as part of this panel (e.g., HIV, syphilis). Consider discussing with a healthcare provider if more comprehensive testing is needed.
Your kit must be registered for the lab to process your sample. During registration, you’ll enter the unique barcode associated with your kit and the date/time of collection and arrange for your sample return to the lab using Purolator pickup. Ensure that you complete the entire kit registration process.
To access the kit registration page, simply scan the QR code located on the kit box and the Customer Instructions within the kit box. You can also go to DynacarePlus.com and click on 'Register Kit'.

If you still have questions about sample collection, call 855.748.1115, Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST.
Weekdays are the best time to collect your sample. Avoid collecting your sample at times where Purolator pickup may not be available within 24 hours of collection (i.e., Saturdays and Sundays), or holidays.
It is recommended to schedule sample pickup within 24 hours of collection to ensure sample stability.
It is important to remember not to urinate or clean genital area at least one hour prior to sample collection.
No. Homecare services are not available for the home collection kit. If you need further assistance, you can reach out to Customer Care at 855.748.1115, Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST. Closed on public holidays.

It may take 5 days to 2 weeks for chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas to be detectable after exposure. If you decide to test within this period and receive a negative result, you may consider retesting at least 2 weeks after exposure to increase the likelihood of detection.
If your result is positive, you will need to seek advice from a healthcare provider. You will be contacted by Dynacare to ensure you have seen your result.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea are public health-notifiable diseases in Canada and Dynacare is required to report these according to the regulations in the province where the sample was collected. A member of your local public health team may also contact you.
Because the STI Panel is considered a screening test, your healthcare provider may require you to conduct a confirmatory test.
Current practice guidelines indicate that anyone suspected of having a specific STI (e.g., chlamydia or gonorrhea) should be screened for other STIs (e.g., syphilis, HIV) based on their individual history and risk factors, so additional assessment may be needed.
We recommend that you check with the public health agency or a healthcare provider for directions on this matter.
Although the STI Panel screening test is very sensitive, the accuracy of the result depends on many factors including the quality of the sample collection and how soon the sample is collected after a potential exposure. If you have concerns that you have received a false-negative result (e.g., persistent or worsening symptoms) a discussion with your healthcare provider should be considered.
The STI Panel screening test detects only genital chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas from a urine sample source.

The STI Panel screening test is intended for people who are curious about whether they have been exposed to an STI and/or wellness purposes. Diagnostic tests are ordered by healthcare providers in order to guide clinical management decisions. Screening tests ordered by customers are non-diagnostic.
At this time, Dynacare only offers the STI Panel as a customer-ordered test for screening purposes.
Testing may take up to 5-7 days after the sample is received at our lab.
Dynacare uses molecular testing methods for the detection of chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas nucleic acid.
The tests used by Dynacare to detect chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas in your urine sample are highly sensitive (94-100%) and specific (>99%). This means that false-negative or false-positive test results are very rare. Importantly, the likelihood of receiving an incorrect result depends on your specific risk factors for disease, the disease prevalence in your exposure area, and the quality of the sample collection. If you have questions about your specific STI risk factors or whether you should be screened for an STI, please discuss this with your healthcare provider.
You will receive the kit within 1-3 days after placing order.

No. The Sexually Transmitted Infections (chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas) at-home kit offered by Dynacare, is intended for screening purposes only. If you are looking for a provincially-insured diagnostic STI test, visit your healthcare provider to discuss options available under your provincial insurance plan.
The Harmony test from Dynacare Prenatal Solutions provides accurate screening for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 and 13, and sex chromosome abnormalities.
Harmony identified 99% of trisomy 21 cases, with a false-positive rate of less than 0.1% in clinical testing.¹
¹ Norton et al. N Engl J Med. 2015 Apr 23;372(17):1589-97
Traditional screening tests (maternal serum screening, first trimester screening, Quad screening) can miss as many as 20% of Trisomy 21 cases in pregnant women. With traditional screening, as many as 1 in 20 women will receive a false-positive result.
If the Harmony prenatal test shows you are high risk, it does not necessarily mean that the pregnancy has one of these genetic conditions. Harmony has a less than 0.1% false-positive rate for trisomies 21, 18 and 13. This means fewer than 1 in 1,000 Harmony tests yields a false-positive result.¹ Your healthcare provider may offer you a follow-up diagnostic procedure to confirm.

The Harmony test provides accurate screening for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 and 13, and sex chromosome abnormalities.
This test option provides additional screening for 22q11.2 deletion, a condition associated with heart defects, poor immune system function, low calcium levels which can lead to seizures, cleft palate, and delayed development.
22q11.2 deletion syndrome is caused by a missing piece of chromosome 22. It occurs in about 1 in 1,000 pregnancies.² The majority of children with 22q11.2 deletion have heart defects, immune system problems, learning challenges, and specific facial features. Some children with the condition also have intellectual disability, feeding problems, speech delays, low calcium levels, kidney problems, and/or seizures. Children with 22q11.2 deletion have an increased chance of autism and may develop psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia later in life.

Any pregnancy has a potential risk of 22q11.2 deletion. Babies born with 22q11.2 deletion usually do not have a family history of the condition. Unlike Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) or other genetic conditions caused by entire extra or missing chromosomes, women of all ages have an equal chance of having a baby with 22q11.2 deletion.
If results indicate an increased chance of 22q11.2 deletion in a pregnancy, additional testing may be offered in order to confirm whether the pregnancy actually has 22q11.2 deletion.
In some provinces the cost for the Harmony test is covered by provincial health insurance plans for women who meet specific clinical criteria.

OptimalRx Plus tests two types of genes to help your clinician make treatment decisions:
Pharmacodynamic genes are a type of gene that indicates the effect a drug has on the body. It helps inform the selection of drugs that are safe, with low or no side effects, and that are effective in relieving symptoms.
Pharmacokinetic genes are a type of gene that indicates the effect your body has on the drug, determining the speed at which the body breaks down and gets rid of the drug. The pharmacokinetic genes inform the dosage. The faster or slower your body processes a drug determines the dose that maybe required for the drug to be safe and effective.
Providing a sample for the OptimalRx Plus is simple; it requires only a p sample of your saliva, collected by swabbing the inside of your cheek with a cotton swab. The sample is sent to the laboratory for testing.
Your test results are reported to your clinician 5-8 business days after your sample is received at the laboratory.
Genetic counsellors are here to help. Dynacare’s genetic counsellors are available for a complimentary consultation, in both English and French. To schedule your telephone consultation, please call 888.988.1888.
As the only non-invasive prenatal test approved by Health Canada, the Harmony test from Dynacare Prenatal Solutions provides accurate screening for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 and 13, and sex chromosome abnormalities (X & Y Chromosomes).
