How to deal with low risk of Down syndrome?

Patient's question:

Please help the expert review the result of the Down syndrome screening, which says low risk, but why do I still need a follow-up free-hCG B-mom: 3.036 hAFP mom: 1.45321 trisomy risk: 1/520 (standard 1/270) 18 trisomy risk: 1/50000 NTD risk: screening negative What help do you want to get: Is this result important?

Doctor's answer:

Your test results are fine. Low risk means normal, but this test is only a screening method and not absolutely accurate. Advice: Considering the current examination situation, there is no need to worry. However, the most accurate method is to undergo amniocentesis for chromosome testing. If the Down syndrome screening is low risk, we only need routine tests. There is no need for further screening for fetal Down syndrome.
