Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the results of CASA systems and to compare its results.
METHODS
Fifty semen sampales were analysed. Concentration, motility and forward progression were evaluated simultaneously on the same semen samples using Cell Soft System-3000 (CS system) and Sperm Quality Analyzer-V (SQA system).
RESULTS
Mean semen volume was 2.8+/-.2 ml. Mean value of sperm concentration, motility, forward progression using CS system were 83.4+/-5.7x106/ml, 52.3+/-6.4% and 48.6+/-3.4%, respectively. And mean value of sperm concentration, motility, forward progression using SQA system were 78.2+/-2.9x106/ml, 57.0+/-4.0% and 50.6+/-1.9%, respectively. There were no statistical significancy of sperm concentration, motility, forward progression between the two devices.
CONCLUSION
SQA system variables well correlated with the CS system. As a screening test for semen quality, CS system and SQA system is considered as useful in the management of male infertility.
