Abstract

China has been putting great effort to promote the human assisted reproduction technology (ART) but impose a stringent regulation over the market at the same time. Thus, the safety and effectiveness tests at pre-clinical stage became even more important. Human sperm toxicity test can be used to evaluate the potential effects ART products have on human gametes. To provide a thorough summary and analysis over sperm toxicity evaluation of medical devices for ART operation, as well as to forecast its future direction, currently available test methods and evaluation indicators related to human sperm were elaborated here. However, no test can apply for all kinds of products. It especially holds water in ART field. Not mention the resource of human sperm is scarce worldwide. Thus, this method’s weakness and risk points were stated. Besides, possible alternative approaches for further improvement were also provided. The main purpose of pre-clinical tests and the market supervision never is to impede the progress of the industry, but to provide a reliable and robust system that cultivates competent and creative researchers as well as companies. Ultimately, by pulling government, hospital and industry together, we are able to achieve the primal goal of ART, happily having healthy offspring.
