concepto NIPT low risk - what does that mean?

I got my concepto NIPT results today - all were low risk but statistics were not given. Does anyone know what 'low risk' means statistically? It seems a bit vague! There was also only 6 per cent fetal fraction, is that ok?

There must be at least 4 percent for the test to be deemed reliable I think. Typically low risk result suggests less than 1 in 1000 chance.

I had one done in may they don’t give stats just low risk or other wise I guess ! X I think you should be pleased with the result and don’t worry

@Cloudyonasunnyday thank you for your reply. I am worried that 6 per cent might be too low to be accurate for some of the conditions. Chat GPT isn't helping and concepto don't seem to have contact details.

Yeah don’t worry if the feral fraction was too low they wouldn’t have given you the result my first result was inconclusive and I had to have another blood test which was annoying !
