MEA - And Endotoxin-Tested

As the only 100% MEA- and endotoxin-tested needle guides on the market, Vitro PRO helps you put patient safety first and guarantees manufacturer compliance with FDA guidelines.

Why Does MEA and Endotoxin Testing Matter?

95% of IVF professionals either assume their needle guides are MEA- and endotoxin-tested, or they don't know.1 But testing isn’t just a preference — it’s a necessity for safe and successful IVF procedures.

FDA logo

The FDA guidelines are clear: any product that could come into contact with gametes or embryos should be MEA- and endotoxin-tested.2 High levels of endotoxins can lead to poor IVF outcomes, and the needle guide plays a crucial role in directing the needle toward the oocytes during retrieval, so there's a tangible risk of contact and consequent contamination.3

With Vitro PRO, you can be fully confident that your needle guides are some of the safest in the industry.

MEA Testing: A Top Priority for Your Peers

"MEA and LAL testing is a minimum for us. We prefer to take products that are tested. In the absence of those two manufacturer provided tests, then we feel obligated to do it in our own hands, which takes extra person hours that is a scarce commodity. If we can find a product that has those two provided testing capabilities already built in to the product, we go for it."

"MEA testing is something that us as embryologists want to see.”

"Anything that is coming into contact with an egg or a sperm, in our opinion, should be MEA tested, of which the catheter and the needle guides are 100% part of that process and that pathway, so they will need to be tested.”

"Most people pay out of pocket, so you’re dealing with someone’s... essentially their life. And I think that also plays a big role when you’re thinking about the equipment you want. You want to make sure that you can get the outcome that these people desire. So I think that plays a big role in it as well.”
