The Sperm Concentration Rapid Test Cassette (OSC-902H) is a rapid qualitative immunochromatographic assay developed for self-testing of sperm concentration in human semen. This study evaluated its diagnostic performance using 236 clinical semen specimens (184 normal and 52 abnormal) compared to microscopic counting as the reference method. The assay showed 98.1% sensitivity, 99.5% specificity, and 99.1% accuracy. No cross-reactivity or interference was observed with physiological or environmental substances. Intra- and inter-assay reproducibility exceeded 99%. These results confirm the clinical reliability of the OSC-902H device as a simple, accurate, and user-friendly at-home fertility screening tool for men.
