What is IVFID? | IVFID Witness System

Security system with RFID chips in IVF treatments

IVFID puts an end to scary questions in IVF treatments such as “Can oocytes, sperms or embryos get mixed up?”, “Is there a risk of mixing up in IVF?”, “Is the IVF treatment safe?” or “What if my embryo gets mixed up too?”

What is IVFID Witness?

IVFID Witness is an advanced security system designed specifically for IVF clinics to ensure the precise matching and verification of sperm, oocyte, and embryo samples throughout the IVF treatment process. The system uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to track and verify samples at every stage, thereby preventing mix-ups and ensuring the safety and integrity of the treatment.

Key Features of IVFID Witness

RFID Technology
The system employs RFID chips to wirelessly verify and match patient samples (sperm, oocytes, embryos) at every stage of the IVF process, including sperm and oocyte collection, tracking, ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), embryo transfer, and cryo-thaw processes.

Patient or Donor Identification
Patients are given wristbands with RFID chips at the beginning of the treatment. All consumables used in the process, such as test tubes and cryotopes, are labeled with disposable RFID tags that include patient and spouse names and patient numbers.

Operational Verification
All procedures in the laboratory and operating rooms are verified wirelessly. The system records detailed operational information, including the name of the procedure, personnel involved, date and time, and the specific area where the procedure is performed.

Error Prevention
In case of a sample mismatch, the system locks itself and prevents the procedure from continuing. Authorized personnel are immediately notified through various alarm methods (e-mail, mobile application, audio/visual alarms).

User-Friendly Interface
The system features LCD panels for patient information display and LCD tablet panels for lab personnel to enter data. It supports multilingual use and allows for personnel-based authorization and double-verification processes.

Modules for Donors and Surrogate Mothers
The system includes modules for managing donors and surrogate mothers, allowing for detailed searches based on various criteria such as blood type, age, skin color, and more. It also supports treatment planning and adjustments during the procedure.

Cryo Tank Control
The system includes features for managing and tracking liquid nitrogen tanks used for cryopreservation, ensuring full usage and proper labeling with RFID Chip of samples.

Benefits

Enhanced Safety

By ensuring that all samples are correctly matched and verified, the IVFID Witness system significantly reduces the risk of human error, providing peace of mind for both patients and clinic staff.

Improved Workflow

The system controls the workflow, minimizing the reliance on manual processes and reducing the potential for mistakes due to inattention or fatigue.

Patient Confidence

Patients are kept informed throughout the treatment process via LCD screens, reinforcing their sense of safety and trust in the clinic.

Overall, IVFID Witness is a comprehensive security solution that addresses the critical need for accuracy and reliability in IVF treatments, ensuring that patients’ genetic materials are handled with the utmost care and precision.
