Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The primary objective of the study is to prove that the Felix System is not inferior in embryo utilisation rate (EUR) to the dual Density Gradient Centrifugation (DGC) and Swim-up (SU) method of spermatozoa separation when using Intracytoplasmic Spermatozoa Injection (ICSI) fertilisation.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

embryo utilisation rate (EUR)

Key secondary outcomes

Spermatozoa concentration (millions/mL), Progressive motility (%), Vitality, DNA fragmentation via the SCSA method, Morphology (% normal), Fertilisation Rate (FR) 16 hours (+/- 1 hour) post ICSI insemination, Blastocyst Development Rate (BDR) calculated as the number of embryos that have reached blastocyte stage of Day 5 post ICSI insemination, Embryo Quality (EQ) at Day 5 based on the WHO EQ guidelines, Embryo Utilisation Rate (EUR) at Day 4, Day 5 or Day 6 post ICSI, Biochemical Pregnancy Rate (BPR) measured using Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) assay on or between Day 9 and Day 14 post embryo transfer, Clinical Pregnancy Rate (CPR) determined by fetal heartbeat measured via ultrasound examination between 6 to 7 weeks following the last menses. Non-clinical operating costs in running the Felix System compared to the DGC plus Swim Up method including time to complete spermatozoa separation, time required by the operator, cost of materials and personnel cost of the respective site spermatozoa separation operators, Usability data from operators of the Felix System compared to the dual DGC plus Swim Up separation method
