SpermCheck® Vasectomy is a rapid test for use at home to detect sperm in semen following a vasectomy. This simple test will quickly let you or your doctor know when the number of sperm has dropped to a very low level and it is safe to stop other methods of birth control.
SpermCheck® Vasectomy is a quick screening test that will give you either a positive or negative result. A positive result does not necessarily mean that your vasectomy failed, but does indicate that additional testing is needed. A negative result means your sperm count is extremely low, at or below a level shown by scientific studies to present very little risk of pregnancy. However, it is important that you talk to your doctor and fully understand the meaning of the results before you decide to stop using other birth control methods. SpermCheck® Vasectomy can also be used at later times (a year or more after your vasectomy) in order to confirm that your sperm count is still close to zero.
Read these instructions carefully and completely before starting the test.
Do not use after the expiration date printed on the package.
This test should be performed at room temperature 64-86ºF (18-30ºC).
