Description

What this equipment is and what it's designed for.

PickUpSim™ is a high-fidelity simulator for oocyte retrieval in assisted reproduction. It includes a haptic feedback system that reproduces the deformation the needle imposes on soft tissues and, above all, the resistance to penetration of the ovarian surface and the follicle wall: the learner feels the needle pass as in theatre. The image appears on a simulated transvaginal ultrasound monitor, with follicles emptying and refilling in real time.

The probe can be moved in the sagittal plane, with the scene changing coherently so the follicle volume can be explored and the entry plane chosen, and it can be rotated to a transverse view to tell vessels from follicles. The needle moves freely forwards and backwards and aspiration is driven by a pedal pump. Scenarios are built on real clinical images and assess movement towards the target follicles, suction and washing timing, and avoidance of critical structures.
