| ESHRE | Recommended One of the few add-ons ESHRE recommends (for routine use with fresh transfers). Source |
| NICE | Not addressed Not addressed in the NG257 add-on chapter. |
| ISAR | May be considered (esp. RIF) May be considered a useful transfer medium, particularly in recurrent implantation failure (cites Cochrane update, 16 RCTs, improved live birth, moderate quality). Source |
Cochrane evidence base
May increase pregnancy/live birth, but the live-birth effect was not robust under a random-effects model.
In India
Small add-on, ~₹5,000–15,000 (approximate; usually bundled).
