A test of patency of the fallopian tubes using carbon dioxide gas passed through a cannula into the cervix.

Rubin test

Gynecology A test designed to detect obstruction of the fallopian tubes, which would prevent pregnancy; in the RT, CO₂ is blown into the cervix under carefully monitored pressure; if the tube is patent, the CO₂ passes into the peritoneal cavity and is absorbed; because the RT merely IDs obstruction, hysterosalpinogography is preferred by many. See Effacement.
