Comparison Of The Embryoscope Time-Lapse System With Standard Embryo Culture

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Infertility

In brief

"Embryoscopes," allow for embryo culture to be performed in an automated incubation system under time lapse photography. Manufacturers of these systems (and investigators who have used these systems) claim that the availability of 24-hour time-lapse photographic control improves embryo selection and, therefore, IVF (in vtro fertilization) pregnancy rates. They also claim that use of this system saves laboratory personnel time. This study will randomize approximately 120 patients (60 in each arm) to standard embryo culture or to culture in an Embryoscope. The primary endpoint will be a comparison of time spent by the laboratory personnel with each system. Secondary endpoints will be IVF outcomes.
