5.1. General Description:
The Rocket
CRAFT™ Oocyte Aspiration Pumps have been developed to provide smooth,
low volume/high vacuum at a pre-determined negative pressure. Vacuum is activated by a
foot operated toggle air switch controlled by the surgeon performing the oocyte collection.
The range of vacuum is infinitely variable from 10-200mmHg
-1
in medium vacuum mode and
at a pre-set 440mmHg
-1
in high vacuum mode.
Rocket
CRAFT™ Oocyte Aspiration Pumps require either a water trap set (supplied) or
R57685 Disposable Rocket

single patient use.
A suitable collection test tube for use with oocyte needle sets is B.D. Falcon test tube No.
2001F, 17 x 100mm.
5.2. Indications:
For the generation of low flow/high vacuum between 10-440 mmHg

to permit the aspiration
of follicular fluid, oocytes and ovarian fluid as part of the treatment of infertility relating to IVF
and other gynaecological procedures.
5.3. Contraindications:
Not intended for use where ovarian aspiration or the aspiration of ovarian fluid is
