FertilMARQ Fertility Sperm Count Test

The FertilMARQ Home Diagnostic Screening Test provides everything you need to collect and test two separate semen samples and will help you and your physician determine if you have a low sperm count.

How The Test Works
The way the test works is quite simple. Once a semen sample has been obtained, you then place it in the testing well of the test cassette. The sperm in the testing well will be change color and you will then compare the sperm sample's color to the color reference on the test cassette. The more intense the color, the higher the sperm count. An intense color will indicate a positive test with a sperm concentration higher than 20 million/mL while a lighter color will indicate a negative test with less than 20 million/mL. 

The FertilMARQ Home Diagnostic Screening Test Kit Includes:
- FertilMARQ Test Cassette (2 Tests)
- One Bottle of Blue Solution and One Bottle of Clear Solution
- Two Plastic Transfer Droppers
- Two Liquefaction Cups with Lids
- Two Non-Spermicidal Condoms
- Full instruction booklet 

The FertilMARQ Home Diagnostic Screening Test is an easy-to-use screening diagnostic kit to measure your sperm concentration and is the Number 1 Home Test for determining a male fertility condition.

The test determines whether your sperm concentration is above or below 20 million sperm cells per milliliter (million/mL). Two test results with sperm concentration of less than 20 million/mL can alert you to possible male fertility issues.

The FertilMARQ Home Diagnostic Screening Test works by staining the cells in a sperm sample to produce a color. The intensity of this color is then compared to a color reference on the FertilMARQ test cassette. The color comparison will tell you whether the sperm concentration in the test sample is above 20 million/mL (a positive test) or below 20 million/mL (a negative test).You MUST wait at least 3 days after ejaculating before you collect semen for testing. For best results, you should wait at least 3 days and no moe than 7 days between tests.

FertilMARQ Home Diagnostic Screening Test Instructions

The Test is Simple to Use: (Please be sure to read the instruction book included fully before starting testing to prevent misuse of the test and perhaps incorrect results.)

• Collect semen using condoms provided and place in special Liquefaction Cup provided.
• Wait at least 15 minutes but not longer than 12 hours.
• Add semen and solutions to Test Well B (for you first test).
• Interpret your results based on the color change.

Interpreting Test Results

The results of the second test (performed 3-7 days after the first test) should be the same as the first test. If the results are not the same, wait 10 weeks and repeat the two tests with a new FertilMARQ™ Home Diagnostic Screening Test Kit for Male Infertility. Once you have your test results, consult your physician.

First Test	Second Test	Interpretation
Positive (see graphic below)	Positive (see graphic below)	Sperm concentration is equal to or greater than 20 million/mL.
Negative (see graphic below)	Negative (see graphic below)	Sperm concentration is less than 20 million/mL. See your physician.
Positive (see graphic below)	Negative (see graphic below)	Retest in 10 weeks and consult your physician.
Negative (see graphic below)	Positive (see graphic below)	Retest in 10 weeks and consult your physician.

Reading the Color Change Compare the color in the Test Well B to the color in the Reference Well A. Positive Test: A blue color as dark or darker than the reference color is positive (sperm concentration is equal to or above 20 million/mL). Negative Test: A blue color lighter than the reference color is negative (sperm concentration is less than 20 million/mL). Record results on Test Results Form.

Important note about using the kit:

• This test kit is for two tests. You MUST wait at least 3 days after ejaculating before you collect semen for testing. For best results you should wait at least 3 days and no more than 7 days between tests.

What does it mean for a drug sample to have FDA (Federal Drug Administration) approval?

What does "FDA Approved" mean?

There are small flakes at the bottom of the Liquefaction Cup. Should I still use the cup in my fertility test?

Does it really matter how much semen sample or solution is added to the Test Well B (or Test Well D)?

I made a mistake using Test Well B. What should I do?

A blue color appeared after adding the Blue dye solution to the Test Well (B or D) but before the Clear wash solution was added. Does this mean that the fertility test is positive?

How long should it take for the semen sample or solutions to drain through the filter?

How long should I wait between fertility tests?

Do two negative fertility test results indicate that I am infertile?

I ran two fertility tests six days apart and got one positive and one negative result. Why do I need to wait 10 weeks to repeat the test (see Interpreting Results)?

Are the fertility test kit solutions safe?

What could cause errors in fertility test results?

Does medication affect fertility test results?
