2 CASA Mira9 Sperm Analyzer Mira9 (CASA) Specifications System Components 1. PC include Mira9 CASA software. 2. Mira9 special slide. 3. Tempreature controller. 4. Soft key. Database The in-built database enables the user to store, backup and restores any kind of obtained information. The in-built database enables the user to generate a historical report for any patient. The in-built database is capable of helping researcher by generating many statistics reports. Other features of Mira 9 Software Mira 9 software is able to automatically add appropriate comments according to the patient results. Mira 9 software has the ability to generate a custom reports like urine, stool, CBC and bone marrow with any captured image using the system digital camera and microscope. Mira 9 software allows the user to record and print the manual test result of semen. System Requirments 1. Trinoculer Microscope with plan objective lens. 2. CCD camera ( Minimum48TV line). 3. Color printer. Standard Methods Mira 9 CASA includes two standard methods, Dynamic and Morphology, a facility for automatic report generation, and an in-built database. The analysis of the parameters is performed according to the recommendations given by the Worldwide Health Organization (WHO) for the 4th edition (latest 5th edition is available as well). The parameters that can be determined with help of the Mira 9 CASA are the matin ones for estimation of the sperm fertility. Dynamic Standard Method The method is designed to estimate the spermatozoa concentration and their motility in a native specimen. Determining spermatozoa concentration in ( Million/ ML) Measuring spermatozoa movement parameters and classifying spermatozoa into motility classes in accordance with WHO recommendations. Measuring spermatozoa dynamic parameters ( VCL, VSL, VAP, MAD, ALH, BCF, LIN, WOB and STR) Morphology Standard Method The method is designed to determine the morphological parameters of spermatozoa. The software of 5th edition morphology can automatically calculate TZI, SDI and MAI parameters.
