Hey there! Let’s chat about the RI Witness system, shall we? It’s all about making sure everything runs smoothly during IVF treatments. You know, when it comes to handling samples in the lab, any mix-up can lead to significant stress for patients. To prevent this, every single culture dish and tube gets labeled with the patient’s name, date of birth, and a unique ID—sometimes even with a color code.
The Gold Standard in IVF Clinics
At TFP clinics, we take it a step further with RI Witness. This electronic system is considered the gold standard for preventing sample mix-ups and is used in top IVF clinics around the globe. Before your treatment, whether it’s insemination, IVF, or ICSI, you’ll receive a chip card at reception. This card contains encrypted data relating to your treatment and is kept securely in your patient file.
Ensuring Accurate Sample Allocation
When you come in for egg collection or other procedures, we’ll ask you to confirm that the information displayed on a monitor matches your details. This card helps ensure that your samples are correctly allocated throughout the entire process, right up until embryo transfer. Similarly, when sperm is delivered, your partner will confirm that the sample has been correctly matched to you. It’s all about creating a foolproof chain of identification.
