Multi-centered, randomized controlled study, evaluating the safety and efficacy of the Ohana IVF Sperm Preparation Kit vs. a standard IVF sperm preparation kit.

Full description

This blinded, randomized, standard-controlled, paired study will be performed in approximately 83 healthy couples (pairs of male and female subjects), who are appropriate candidates for IVF in six fertility centers located in the United States (US).

The study will capture the selection of the best embryo for transfer and follow-up on pregnancy outcomes that result from the transfer of the selected embryo following the IVF procedure, and the results of safety assessments.
