WARNING: Do not modify this equipment without written authorisation of the
manufacturer.
The use of high suction levels may lead excessive fluid flow rates which may result in
damage to the oocyte and reduced fertilisation rates. Damage to oocytes inharvesting
systems is principally caused by turbulent flow which can lead to physical shearing
stresses on the cumulus sufficient to denude or damage the fragile zona (Reeves et al 1989).
Flow rate is a function needle set configuration and the suctionapplied.
Therefore, the 500mmHg-1 (Max) suction setting must only be used to clear
blockages from a needle set and must NOT be used in contact with the patient. Refer
to Section 6 for recommended suction setting for given needle setconfigurations.

WARNING
This device should only
be used by, or under
the supervision of,
appropriately trained
personnel in
conjunction with clinical
practice guidelines
4.3. PROCEDURE
Preparation: ROCKET MEDICAL PLC strongly recommend that the position of the uterus and pelvic
organs are confirmed by ultrasonography prior to the procedure. Similarly, the presence of developed
follicles should have been confirmed by serial ultrasound duringthe 10 days prior to the procedure. The
procedure is normally be carried out under local analgesia and/or supplemented light sedation.
General anaesthesia may be necessary in very anxious patients.Follicular Aspiration: It is essential for
a successful outcome that oocytes areharvested with the least possible trauma to bothpatient
and ova.
Using aseptic technique:
1. Following the manufacturers guidelines, cover the
transvaginal ultrasound probe with a sterile sheath. A
small amount of ultrasound gel may be added to improve
picture definition.
2. Select a sterile needle guide approved for use with the
vaginal ultrasound probe and assemble following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Open the needle pack carefully, taking care not to touch
or damage the needle bevel. The use of damaged
needles will cause increased discomfort to the patient
and may result in loss of the oocyte.
4. For double lumen needles/flushing technique: prior to
inserting the needle into the needle guide, attach a syringe
of flushing media to the flushing port, open the tap and flush
the channel with 2ml of media. Close the 2-way tap. For
single lumen needles: prime (if required) using the
connection port on the underside of the bung/stopper.
5. Attach a sterile sample (Falcon) tube to the
bung/stopper
6. Connect the tubing connector to a lowpower vacuum pump such as the R29655 CRAFT™Pump.
7. For double lumen needles/flushing technique: set the pump to deliver a vacuum of 200mmHg.
Aspirate 2-5ml of flushing media into the Falcon tube and discard.
8. Place the needle into the needle guide following the manufacturer’s instructions. Figure 1 shows a
common probe and needle assembly.
9. Set the aspiration vacuum level to your personal preference using the table as a guide.
10. Ensure all connections are air tight and the tube set is
free from any constrictions as these cause turbulences
which greatly increases the risk of oocyte damage.
11. With the patient in lithoto my, introduce the needle/probe assembly into the vagina, advancing into
the anterior fornix to visualise each ovary. Once the ovaries have been identified, introduce the
needle and advance through the vaginal wall and ovarian stroma into the target follicle.
12. Activate the vacuum pump and aspirate the follicular fluid into the sampling tube. Check
microscopically for the presence of an oocyte. For double-lumen needles, if desired, 2-5ml of media
can be injected via the flushing limb (after opening the 2-way tap) to distend the follicle prior to
subsequent aspiration. When using single lumen needles, follicular flushing can be performed via the
flushing port on the underside of the bung/stopper. Complete the harvesting from one ovary before
commencing on the other.
13. If the needle becomes blocked during the procedure, rotate the needle within the follicle to ensure
that the needle is not blocked by follicular wall tissue
Single lumen blockage: if the needle remains blocked, remove the needle from the patient and
flush through with media using the flushing port on the underside of the bung/stopper.
Double lumen blockage: the needle can be flushed without removal from the ovary.
Check that the needle is clear by aspirating media through the needle set. If the blockage is still
present, high vacuum aspiration (400-500mmHg) may be performed with the needle outside the
patient. WARNING: the use of high suction when the needle is inside the ovary should not be
performed. This may lead to turbulent flow, which may damage the oocyte.
14. Flushing may be performed following harvesting to clear the needle prior to oocyte identification.
