GroupInterventionDescription
Non treatment groupDiafertThis is a non-interventional study in which embryo selection is performed according to standard of care. The Diafert output, the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) concentration in follicular fluid (FF), will be recorded but will not be used in patient management, ie, values will not be used for embryo selection in the assisted reproduction procedure.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Embryos that achieve the blastocyst stage of development at Day 5 as determined by morphological assessment using the SART criteriaDay 5

The status of each embryo will be assessed by an independent panel of 5 embryologists through visual inspection using the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) criteria to determine if each embryo has achieved the blastocyst stage of development or not.
