- Measures concentration of motile sperm
- Private proactive first step towards conception
- Patented technology, cleared by FDA
Important: This information is intended to help understand how the Fertell Male fertility test works. When using the test, always refer to the “Instructions For Use” enclosed within the product packaging.
What it measures:
The Fertell Male fertility test measures the concentration of motile sperm, which are the sperm that can readily swim to fertilize an egg. Natural fertilization is unlikely if the concentration of motile sperm is too low. That is why simply measuring a sperm count is of limited value and why measuring sperm motility is crucial.
How it works:
The Fertell Male fertility test challenges the sperm to swim up a fluid-filled chamber, mimicking the process that the sperm would go through inside the female’s body as it tries to reach the egg. The Fertell sperm test is technologically advanced, yet the design makes it easy to use. After producing a semen sample, there are just a few simple steps to do.
Setting up the test:
 |
 |
 |
||
|
A semen sample is produced directly into the collection container and allowed to sit for 30 minutes. |
The testing unit is then placed on top of the collection container… |
…and the blue button is then pushed down to begin the test. |
What’s happening inside the test:
|
|
Pressing the blue button will start an electronic timer and release a chemical solution into a “sperm swim-up chamber”, acting as a cervical fluid substitute. For the next 30 minutes, the sperm will try to swim through this fluid, which is warmed to body temperature. Those sperm that can swim through it are eventually coded red (these are the motile sperm). If there is a sufficient amount of motile sperm, they will appear as a second red line in the test result window. |
Reading the results:
Results are based on the World Health Organization guideline1 (a minimum of 10 million motile sperm per milliliter of semen). If there are less than 10 million motile sperm, there will be no test line formed and the male should call his physician’s office for further discussion. Results are displayed by the number of lines showing in the result window.

One red line indicates the concentration of motile sperm is below the appropriate level and a doctor should be consulted. |
Two red lines, no matter how faint or incomplete, indicates that the concentration of motile sperm is above the appropriate level. Your efforts of trying to conceive should continue. |
