Updated Test Information:

Test Description	Semen Analysis, Semen
Synonym(s)	Fertility Test, Semen Count, Semen Motility, Semen Volume, Sperm Analysis, Sperm Count, Sperm Motility, Sperm Volume
Test ID	FER
General Information	This test is for determining male fertility status.
Container Type	Semen Analysis Kit - Dilution Media (T178)
Specimen Type	Semen
Specimen Requirements	Patient Preparation: Patient should have 2 to 7 days of sexual abstinence at the time of semen collection for accurate results. Specimen Volume: Total ejaculate Patients must obtain a collection kit with collection instructions from one of the following Incyte Diagnostics Patient Service Centers 12615 E Mission Ave, Suite 101, Spokane Valley, WA 318 E Rowan Ave, Suite 205, Spokane, WA 9631 N Nevada St, Suite 210, Spokane, WA 750 N Syringa, Suite 101, Post Falls, ID 55 W Tietan St, Walla Walla, WA 3001 St. Anthony Way, Suite 107, Pendleton, OR 221 Wellsian Way, Richland, WA *Failure to obtain the collection kit from an Incyte Diagnostics Patient Service Center could result in rejection of the sample*
Specimen Collection / Processing Instructions	After collection, allow the specimen to liquefy for 1 hour. Measure the volume.If necessary, also measure appearance, pH, and viscosity. Place the specimen into media within 1 hour.
Minimum Sample Volume	Total ejaculate
Required Information	Include the following information: -Semen volume (required) -Viscosity -pH -Appearance (color) -Number of days of sexual abstinence
Stability	Ambient (preferred) Specimen must arrive within 24 hours of collection. Send specimen Monday through Thursday only and not the day before a holiday. If holiday falls on a Saturday, holiday will be observed on the preceding Friday. Sunday holidays are observed on the following Monday. Specimen should be collected and packaged as close to shipping time as possible. Laboratory does not perform testing on weekends
Limitations	This test should not be used to check patient's sterility following a vasectomy. For such cases, order POSV / Post Vasectomy Check, Semen. Semen analysis specimens submitted to Mayo Clinic Laboratories are not acceptable for fructose testing due to the use of dilution media. For specimen requirements for fructose testing in azoospermia patients, see FROS2 / Fructose, Qualitative, Semen. Submit separate specimen to rule-out ejaculatory duct blockage. Positive result indicates no blockage.
Methodology	The sample is measured for volume and analyzed microscopically to determine the number of sperm present, the number of moving or motile sperm, and the properties of the sperm motility.(WHO laboratory manual for the examination of human semen. 6th ed. World Health Organization; 2021)
Estimated TAT	2 to 5 Days
Testing Schedule	Monday - Friday
Retention	Not retained.
CPT Code(s)	89310
Reference Range	Appearance: normal Volume: > or =1.5 mL pH: > or =7.2 Motile/mL: > or =6.0 x 10(6) Sperm/mL: > or =15.0 x 10(6) Motility: > or =40% Grade: > or =2.5 Note: Multiple laboratory studies have indicated that semen parameters for motility and grade on average retain 80% of original parameters when our shipping method is used for transport. Using these averages, samples with 32% to 39% motility and grade of 2 may be in the normal range if testing was performed shortly after collection. Therefore, these borderline patients may need to collect another sample at a local fertility center to verify fertility status. Motile/ejaculate: > or =9.0 x 10(6) Viscosity: > or =3.0 Agglutination: > or =3.0 Supravital: > or =58% live Fructose: positive Note: Fructose testing cannot be performed on semen analysis specimens shipped through Mayo Clinic Laboratories. Submit separate specimen to rule out ejaculatory duct blockage. Positive result indicates no blockage.
