Sperm Wash No Male Factor

What would be the best code to use for a sperm wash when it is not a male factor issue? There is a code for male factor in a female patient, but not a code for a female factor in a male patient. My thought would be to use “Male Infertility-other” (N46.8). Can you please confirm?
