Summary

This trial tests a new machine that automatically injects sperm into eggs for IVF patients. The machine uses smart technology to make the process more consistent and efficient.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women experiencing infertility who are undergoing IVF treatment with ICSI. It's not suitable for cases where the cause of infertility is due to severe male factors.
What is being tested?
The study tests an automated system called ICSIA against the standard manual method of injecting sperm into eggs during IVF. The focus is on comparing how many eggs survive and get fertilized with each technique.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a device rather than a drug, side effects may include typical IVF-related risks such as discomfort or bruising from egg retrieval, but specific device-related side effects are not detailed.

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~1 month after biopsy
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and 1 month after biopsy for reporting.

Other Research
Common treatments for female infertility include ovulation induction (OI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). OI involves the use of medications like clomiphene citrate to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, increasing the chances of conception. IVF involves hormonally stimulating the ovaries, retrieving eggs, fertilizing them with sperm in a lab, and transferring the resulting embryos into the uterus. ICSI, which is similar to the ICSIA system being studied, involves directly injecting a single sperm into an egg to facilitate fertilization, particularly useful in cases of male infertility or previous fertilization failures. These treatments are crucial for female infertility patients as they address various underlying issues, enhancing the likelihood of achieving a successful pregnancy.
