Quality assessment settings
Before using Quality assessment, check the basic parameters in the settings of MedITEX IVF and adjust if needed.

- You access settings via the menu System -> Configuration / administration -> Settings on the top of the window.
- In the settings you go to System -> Functions -> Semen analysis to Quality assessment-default settings and check "Activate / deactivate Qualitiy assessment".
As number of differentiating cells for motility and morphology by default 200 sperm are set. This number is the minimum value that is to be counted according to the directive per sperm count.
Also the specification of the workplace, the examination and the method should be entered here. The data will be automatically transferred to your Quality assessment entry screen.
The dilution or enrichment of the ejaculate and / or the number of the counting fields must be selected in accordance with an orienting preliminary examination. If the sperm concentration is less than 1-2 sperm per high power field (objective magnification 40-fold), the sample should be enriched. Finds then less than 200 sperm per counting grid of the counting chamber, eliminates the requirement of at least 2 x 200 to be counted spermatozoa.
These settings will be loaded on every Quality assessment calculation as default values and can be edited in addition, depending on the special case.
Using Quality assessment
The Quality assessment functionality, you use at the menu item "Laboratory diagnosis" of the male patients in which you create a new semen analysis by using the button "New sample".

Examinations can be carried out either manually or automatically (CASA = Sperm class analyzer).
The examination of the spermatozoa in a counting chamber is separated according to
- Concentration (number),
- Morphology (normal or abnormal in percent)
- Motility (movement in 3 stages: progressive movement, locally movable immotil in percent)
performed in duplicate determintaions, evaluated and documented.
