A fertility-monitoring detector has been launched in the market for use in the US. The device, called OvuSense, was cleared by the US Food and Drug Association (FDA; Silver Spring, MD, USA).

OvuSense was launched by Fertility Focus (The Woodlands, TX, USA) and Norgenix Pharmaceuticals (Spartanburg, SC, USA). The device delivers 99% sensitivity and 99% accuracy, making it the most precise fertility detector in the market. OvuSense predicts the onset of ovulation, detects the exact ovulation date just three days after it occurs, and provides all this information in real time on the screen to the user. This level performance, for the first time, puts the certainty of ultrasound in a handheld ovulation monitor. Fertility Focus presented OvuSense at the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Conference which was held in Boston (MA, USA), in October 2013.
