The FertilMARQ™ Home Diagnostic Screening Test is an easy-to-use
at home male
fertility test that
measures sperm concentration.
This new product
determines whether
sperm concentration is above
or below 20 million sperm cells per milliliter (million/mL). Two test results with sperm
concentration less than 20 million/mL may indicate male infertility (this concentration value
has been recommended by the World Health Organization).

How It Works
|
The FertilMARQ™ Home Diagnostic Screening Test works by staining the cells in the sperm
sample to produce a color. The intensity of this color is then compared to a color reference on
the FertilMARQ™ test cassette
(see Test Kit
Contents). The color comparison will tell you
whether the sperm concentration in the test sample is above 20
million/mL (positive test) or
below 20 million/mL (negative test).
Sperm concentration is one of the factors used by physicians to help determine male
infertility. However, since many additional factors play a role in male infertility, a positive test
is not a guarantee of fertility.
There are many reasons why a man may be infertile, that is unable to father a child. One
important reason is a low amount of sperm in semen. Other reasons could be inactive or
incompletely formed sperm cells, high levels of other cells in the semen that interfere with
fertilization, or other factors. Medical or physical conditions may also interfere, including
stress, high fever experienced within two months prior to testing, exercise, traveling, and
changes in diet. Your
physician can best explain these conditions and other factors to you.
Taking this screening test will indicate if you have a low amount of sperm in your semen. You
can provide these test results to your physician to aid in determining whether you are infertile.

Although
there are a
number of
factors
involved in
male
infertility
(high semen viscosity, a low semen volume, a high percentage of
immotile sperm, presence of leukocytes in semen, anti-sperm antibodies, etc.)
the sperm
concentration
that this
test screens
is one of
the most
critical
determinants
as defined
by the World
Health
Organization.
Although
sperm concentration is
a primary
factor used by physicians to help determine male
infertility,
since many additional factors play a role in male infertility, a positive test
is not a guarantee of fertility.
