Standardization of catheter load speed during embryo transfer: comparison of manual and pump-regulated embryo transfer E. Groeneveld, B. de Leeuw, C.G. Vergouw, O.W. Visser, M.J. Lambers, M.W.

Figure 1 Schematic overview of the pump-catheter control system showing the pump-regulated embryo-transfer device connected to an embryo-transfer catheter. The motor drives the pump head and rollers on the pump head squeeze the pump tube to generate a constant fluid flow within the tube.

Figure 2 Configuration of the test set-up. The high-speed camera is positioned directly above the catheter. The catheter is fixed with a clamp for stability during the recordings. Parallel to the catheter lays a ruler with millimetre markings. fps=frames per second.

Figure 3 Calculation of catheter load speed showing how the recordings were analysed in order to evaluate injection speeds during transfer. Every 10ms (five frames) the mean catheter load speed was calculated by dividing the covered distance (l) by the time (10m/s).
