The semen sample was collected less than two (2) days or more than seven (7) days after the last ejaculation, which could cause inaccurate results.

The entire ejaculate was not collected, including the first few drops of semen.

The ejaculate did not liquefy between Steps 2 and 3.

The semen in the Sample Collection Cup was not mixed well enough before it was added to the Collection Tube (Step 3).

Too much or too little semen was added to the Collection Tube.

Air bubbles were drawn into the Dropper during the transfer of semen from the Collection Cup to the Collection Tube (Step 4).

The semen-solution mixture in the Collection Tube was not mixed well enough before it was added to the Test Device (Step 5).

Step 6 was skipped and the semen-solution mixture from Step 5 was used on the Test Device too soon. The semen-solution mixture from Step 5 should stand for 2 minutes before proceeding to Step 7.

Too much or too little semen-solution mixture was added to the sample well (Step 7). Three (3) drops from the Collection Tube should be added to the sample well on the Test Device.

The semen-solution mixture was added to the results window on the Test Device instead of the sample well. The sample well is the round opening on the Test Device (Step 7).

The test results were interpreted too early or too late. The test results should be read between five (5) to ten (10) minutes after the semen-solution mixture is added to the sample well (Step 8).

Poor vision, color blindness or poor lighting may affect a person’s ability to correctly interpret the result.
