Product Name/Description	Sydney IVF PVP (Used during microinjection techniques for reducing sperm motility to enable easier capture using a pipette) Product Code: K-SIPV-200-5 Bulk batch number M0615061Z Lot Numbers: K22948, K22752, K22551, K22825, K22625, K23042 ARTG number 132688
Recall Action Level	Hospital
Recall Action Classification	Class III
Recall Action Commencement Date	8/10/2015
Responsible Entity	William A Cook Australia Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue	This batch is being recalled as it was formulated with an excess of water, diluting the product outside the design specification. The batch met all of the release specifications, including Mouse Embryo Assay; however, the effect of this dilution is a loss of viscosity, and creation of a hypo-osmotic environment for the sperm. This may make it difficult for the embryologist to capture the sperm, and may lead to swelling of the sperm tail.
