Dr Ramya travelled to the Adelaide Convention Centre to attend ASPIRE 2023 – which this year carried the theme “Welcome to the future”.
Dr Jayaram delivered a presentation titled: “First Recorded Normal Live Birth after ICSI with Electrophoretically Isolated Spermatozoa Using the Felix™ System”.
As Dr Jayaram explains, Felix™ is an automated, operator independent system that performs a six-minute sperm separation process.
In Dr Jayaram’s case report, thirty three couples were recruited on the basis of raw semen DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) greater than 20%. With sperm separated by the Felix™ system, a 83% fertilisation rate and a 65% embryo utilisation rate were achieved resulting in 14 clinical pregnancies.
The Felix™ system is commercially available in markets such as Japan, Canada and New Zealand and there are clinical studies and regulatory certifications underway in China and Australia.
