Though 1 in 695 is a low risk, now we have a Noinvasive test called NIPT, in this scenario, better do NIPT.

It's only a prediction. Nobody can tell you for sure if baby will have chromosomal abnormalities or not. When you do NIPT or amniocentesis you will be able to get a more definitive answer.

Double marker test is just a screening test
Not a diagnostic test
Intermediate risk needs further evaluation in the form of aminocentesis or nipt
