Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the overall clinical value of GERI+ as an integrated embryo culture and assessment system, providing an undisturbed culture environment, continuous monitoring of embryo development and automated scoring using a predictive algorithm.

GERI+ Incubator

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

GERI+ incubator

Intervention Type DEVICE

The embryo culture of consented participants were carried out in GERI+ incubator for both bright-field and dark-field time lapse monitoring until Day 3 of embryo culture. On Day 3, all embryos were reviewed firstly by GERI Assess software, using bright-field imaging. Finally the embryo(s) with the highest EEVA grade are transferred were followed up until the achievement of implantation and confirmation of pregnancy.

Conventional incubator

Group Type OTHER

Conventional incubator

Intervention Type DEVICE

The embryo culture of consented participants were carried out in conventional incubator for culture until Day 3 of embryo culture. On Day 3 of embryo culture, all embryos are assessed using a bench-top microscope. The embryo(s) with optimal cell stage and grade were transferred and were followed up until the achievement of implantation and confirmation of pregnancy.
