Detailed Description
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the impact of sperm selection for ICSI using the investigational SiD software, on performance outcomes such as the rate of fertilization, blastocyst development, clinical pregnancy success, and other intermediate results, in a pilot study. SiD is a software designed to identify, evaluate, and assist in the sperm selection process within a semen sample, according to motility (for instance velocity, linearity, straightness) patterns and the shape of the sperm. SID uses a mathematical model. Its purpose is to assist clinical embryologists in selecting sperm to inject during ICSI. Currently, embryologists identify and select sperm based on the sperm motility and shape; not using any mathematical interphase assistant.
