Matrixtech Inc. congratulates you on your discerning choice to purchase the UltraLove 925x for your external gestation. This model features complete visual transparency, soothing LED backlighting, compatibility with up to four devices for family updates, and SELF CLEANING MODE.

Getting Started
When your family group has chosen an optimal time frame for your offspring to emerge, please input the desired emergence date and time on the UltraLove 925x touchpad. The unit will calibrate for a few seconds. Then, input preferred characteristics. Please note: Matrixtech Inc. does not guarantee gender outcome or exact specified choices.

When the two genetic donors have agreed on the fetus they wish to create, it’s time to provide a sample! Take the two UltraLove vessels to the medical professional of your choice. The vessels are digitally identified to ensure privacy and full device compatibility. When the samples have been procured, checked, and prepared, transport them back to the UltraLove 925x. DO NOT allow more than 24 hours to elapse between sample preparation and insertion. This may result in a nonviable attempt.

Conception
Many families make an occasion out of the moment of insertion. Think about what this means to you; perhaps invite your parents or stream the blessed event to an audience of loved ones. Set duration to FULL TERM and the UltraLove 925x will lock and fill. The hard part is over! Now, all you have to do is wait.

Please store your UltraLove 925x in an environment between 10 and 50 degrees for optimal performance. Ensure that the unit has an uninterrupted power supply, and avoid blocking the vents. Do not submerge in water.

Troubleshooting
In the event the UltraLove 925x detects abnormality, you will receive step-by-step instructions on how to proceed. Please consult local laws regarding selective dismissal of any fetal development in progress. Please note: SELF-CLEANING MODE cannot be activated without a blood sample from both genetic donors to confirm while gestation is in progress.

I’m sorry. You must accept TERMS AND CONDITIONS to continue.

Ok!
