Sandstone CEO Greg Sommer said: "This FDA clearance represents a monumental milestone for Sandstone Diagnostics as we prepare to launch Trak as a radically new approach to personal fertility management.
"Male infertility is a dramatically under-appreciated condition affecting millions of couples every year.
"Trak is a complete system that not only gives couples the ability to conveniently measure semen quality at home, but also provides digital health tools and population-based data to help men take charge of their reproductive health in a whole new way."
The device uses a centrifugal force to classify and calculate sperm cells using specially designed disposable cartridges.
