ICI and IUI (sometimes referred to as “unwashed” and “washed”) and ART specimens are used for various artificial insemination procedures, with some doctors preferring one preparation method over the other. In most instances, a doctor will recommend washed units for an IUI insemination (intrauterine insemination). The process of making an IUI specimen begins before cryopreservation.

A: An IUI -- intrauterine insemination -- is when a very thin flexible catheter is threaded through the cervix and washed sperm is injected into the uterus. The whole process doesn't take very long - it usually only requires the insertion of a speculum and then the catheter, a process that maybe takes a couple of minutes. Sometimes when the cervix is hard to reach a tenaculum is also used and makes the process a bit more uncomfortable. See similar questions...

Some of the "preparations" that have been suggested for acts of bioterrorism, such as purchasing gas masks and stockpiling antibiotics, are at best of little value, and at worst risky to your health and the public-health system. On the other hand, it's wise to take some of the same basic precautions you would take to prepare for a natural disaster, such as an earthquake. Unless you are evacuated by local law enforcement during a disease outbreak, you should "shelter in place. See similar questions...

A specimen is a real-world example of how the mark is actually used on the goods or in the offer of services. Labels, tags, or containers for the goods are considered to be acceptable specimens of use for a trademark. For a service mark, specimens may be advertising such as magazine advertisements or brochures. Specimens are required in applications based on actual use in commerce, Section 1(a), 15 U.S.C. ?1051(a), and must be filed with the Amendment to Allege Use, 15 U.S.C. See similar questions...

An IUI shouldn't be done at home because the sperm needs to be washed to prevent infection -- i.e., separated from the semen. A vaginal insemination can be done at home, but is no more successful than intercourse. Some doctors are willing to instruct on doing ICI (intracervical insemination) at home, but it should not be attempted without being taught proper technique. Getting semen or air into the uterus could be quite dangerous -- perhaps life-threatening. See similar questions...
