Falmouth, Cornwall, UK.--(PRESS RELEASE)?28 March 2007?Research Instruments Limited reported today that it has received FDA marketing clearance for its Saturn Laser System. The Saturn is the first non-contact laser device to be awarded marketing clearance for laser-assisted hatching of human embryos in clinical applications which has a pilot laser to ensure accurate positioning of the beam.

"We are delighted to be able to offer US clinics the worlds best selling and most technically advanced laser system for clinical use.? said Bill Brown President and CEO of Research Instruments Ltd. ?Not only does it have unique advantages over the current systems available to the US markets, such as a pilot laser that guarantees the beam position, sophisticated embryo analysis tools, hole sizes that can be drawn on the embryo by touch screen and then ablated, but it is also the most powerful with the lowest pulse times.?

The Saturn laser is simple to use and the most accurate of all lasers as the user does not have to estimate the position of the main laser during set-up ? they can see it with the use of a red pilot laser spliced into the main laser. IVF Pioneers from all over the world are using the Saturn Laser routinely. ?We have now been working with the Saturn Laser System from Research Instruments for some time and have found it to be a very effective method of ablating or "drilling" holes in the zona pellucida of preimplantation embryos......In short, I have found that the Saturn Laser System is accurate and easy to use, providing me with an effective research tool" says Professor Alan H. Handyside, world pioneer of PGD. "The most important thing you should consider when purchasing a laser system is the accuracy of its beam....At Bourn Hall Clinic we purchased the Saturn Laser System from RI. This system guarantees where the main laser fires showing the exact site of ablation. The RI Saturn Laser ensures accurate and therefore safe ablation, essential when patients oocytes/ embryos are at stake.? Martyn Blayney, Bourn Hall Clinic, UK, worlds first IVF baby.

The product is available in the USA through RI?s official distributor, Conception Technologies, 6835 Flanders Drive, Suite 500, San Diego, CA92121. Telephone: [1] 800-995-8081, Fax: [1] 858-821-0891 , info@conceptiontechnologies.com
