This home use test is a cost effective way to confirm a man’s post-vasectomy sterility with accuracy, expediency and convenience. The vasectomy failure and recanalization rate is approximately 0.4% (1 in 238). SpermCheck Vasectomy eliminates the time, hassle and embarrassment of post-vasectomy office or laboratory visits that often prevent patients from following up with confirmation of their infertile status after a vasectomy.
About SpermCheck Vasectomy
Calibrated to detect extremely low levels of sperm, SpermCheck Vasectomy enables a man to determine the appropriate time at which to discontinue the use of other forms of contraception.
How It Works
Using only a few drop of the man’s semen placed in the well of the test device, SpermCheck Vasectomy will return accurate results of negative or positive in less than ten minutes after the semen sample is added to the device.
Your doctor will determine the number and frequency of sperm tests that are best for you. For the most accurate results, ContraVac recommends testing yourself in accordance with your doctor’s instructions. If you are unable to consult with your physician, ContraVac recommends the following:
• To confirm sterility, test yourself at two different time intervals within the first three months following your vasectomy. Two consecutive negative results provide a high degree of certainty that a man is sterile. Continue another form of contraception until two negative test results are obtained.
• To detect possible recanalization (a vasectomy naturally healing itself resulting in sperm in the ejaculate), test yourself six months following your vasectomy, with additional testing once per year for the first three years after vasectomy.
