Brief summary
The INVOcell intravaginal culture system is a prescription device intended for preparing, holding, and transferring human gametes or embryos during intravaginal in vitro fertilization or intravaginal culture procedures. The original (FG-002) INVOcell culture system was FDA cleared through De Novo application (DEN150008). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the INVO Bioscience modified INVOcell system, comprised of the INVOcell Intravaginal Culture Device and Retention Device, in terms of the following: 2.1 Effectiveness of achieving fertilization, implantation, embryo development, clinical pregnancy, and live birth after 5-days of continuous vaginal incubation. 2.2 The comfort and retention of the INVOcell device and retention system intravaginally.
Detailed description
This is a Pivotal, single arm, multicenter, open label trial to evaluate the efficacy, comfort and retention of the INVOcell Intravaginal Culture Device and Retention Device over 5-days vaginal incubation. The effectiveness of the INVOcell device will be tested on a select population of infertile couples at several in vitro fertilization (IVF) centers. The providers at each center will conduct the processes of ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer per the standard protocols for their centers. The planned sample size is 180 participants across 3 sites (60 participants per site). The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy, comfort and retention of the INVOcell with the retention device, and demonstrate superiority following 5-day vaginal incubation as compared to current 3-day vaginal incubation indication. Specifically, the following will be assessed: 1. The INVO Procedure using the INVOcell Intravaginal Culture Device can effectively maintain 5-days of continuous vaginal incubation with the transfer of blastocyst(s) at the end of the 5-days. 2. The Retention Device retains the INVOcell in the vaginal cavity and is well tolerated during the 5-days of continuous vaginal incubation.

Inclusion criteria
Women diagnosed with: * Tubal factor * Endometriosis (stage I or II) * Ovulatory dysfunction * Multiple female factors * Males with mild male factor \[mild male factor is defined as meaning: two or more semen analyses that have one or more variables which fall below the 5th centile as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2010)\] Couples with: * Unexplained Infertility * Multiple factors, of female and/or male origin The pre-selected couples will be included in the study only if they fulfill the more specific inclusion and
Exclusion criteria
below: * Couples may be included in the study only if they have been informed about the study and have given their written consent. * Infertile couples with failure to conceive a diagnosed pregnancy after one year of unprotected intercourse (6 months if the woman's age is 35 years or more). This one-year requirement need not be fulfilled if oligomenorrhea or tubal factor is present, or donor sperm use is planned * IVF has been determined by the physician to be their next appropriate treatment * Women with desire for pregnancy using donor sperm will be eligible even absent infertility factors. Women included in the study should: * Be between the age of 18 and 37 years (has not reached her 38th birthday at the time of enrollment). * Have an anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level ≥ 0.8 ng/mL * Have a normal uterine cavity as assessed in the past year by HSG, SHG or hysteroscopy. Prior tubal ligation is acceptable. * Partner semen analysis within the past year must show a total of ≥ 15 million motile spermatozoa.
