BabyComp and then LadyComp were tested by independent experts at an early stage. The results have flowed continually into further development of the devices. Therefore, the Pearl-Index details are not only based on the manufacturers information but have been confirmed by repeated clinical tests. |
Safety is most important The daily fertility displays of LadyComp and BabyComp have a Pearl-Index of 0.7 or to explain it more easily of 99.3%. In comparison: The pill has a Pearl-Index from 0.1 to 0.9, the coil from 1 to 3. So these computers are the best as far as safety is concerned. And how is the Pearl-Index ascertained? In order to reliably determine the Pearl-Index of a contraceptive method, approx. 10,000 cycles must be observed and evaluated. When BabyComp, and later LadyComp, were developed and tested, Valley Electronics’ researchers were able to build on the information and tables of thousands of women who have been using this temperature method for years. This data was stored together with those of particularly difficult cycles from technical literature and research institutes. The programme evaluates the collected cycles again and again. By January 2003, more than 700,000 cycles of tens of thousands of users had been stored which fulfilled the Pearl-Index requirement satisfactorily. |
Pearl-Index of 0.7, fine – but what does that mean? The Pearl-Index is the medical term for a value with which the safety of a contraceptive method is ascertained. Example: If 100 women use contraception for one year and one of them becomes pregnant, this corresponds to a Pearl-Index of 1.0. Clinical tests confirm safety. In the recent study* conducted under the direction of Prof. Dr. med. habil. Günther Freundl, chief physician of the Frauenklinik des Städtischen Krankenhauses Düsseldorf-Benrath, 686 users in Germany, Switzerland and Mexico were questioned over a time period of more than 2 years. This resulted in a Pearl-Index of (method safety) 0.7. * A retrospective study on the reliability, acceptance and safety of mini-computers LadyComp and BabyComp in family planning – 1997. |
