By clicking on the "+" button it is possible to freeze a new sample. When the right black arrow on the "+" button is clicked, one more option is provided: to use the same values of the selected sample.

Select samples (blue background) and press the "-" button if you wish to delete these samples.

  • Follicle aspiration: date of the ovarian puncture when the frozen oocyte was obtained.
  • Cryopreserved on: preservation date of the sample.
  • Storage date: date when sample was put on storage.
  • Cryo technique: method used for freezing the sample.
  • Cryopreserved by: the person who froze the sample.
  • #Days: the storage period of the samples in days.
  • #Ooc: the number of oocytes that the sample contains.
  • #Emb: the number of embryos that the sample contains.
  • Ovarian tissue: see if the sample has the type ovarian tissue.

Thawing a sample

Select the samples you wish to thaw from the list and click the Minus button or Thaw (if available).

<tbody> </tbody>
<img src="/images/SelectS.png" alt="" /> A safety dialogue will be opened.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/SelectSa.png" alt="" width="366" height="202" />

After confirming the dialogue, please indicate the reason for the removal of the sample. Just select the reason of thawing, the thawing date and confirm. The sample will be removed from the cryostorage and it will appear in the history section.

Press the OK to remove the sample from the cryo storage.
  • MedITEX IVF will not delete removed samples completely but only filter them out. Removed samples will then be displayed in the History and can still be used for reports.
  • If the reason selected is Mistakenly documented the sample will not appear in the history section.

Cryostorage overview

In order to have an overview of all the materials stored in the cryo storage, select Cryostorage overview in the system menu:

<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/CryoStorage111.png" alt="" />
  • By selecting Oocyte / embryo storage locations or Sperm storage locations, a new window will be opened and it will only display tanks that are dedicated only to the selected option. If a tank is dedicated to both materials it will be shown in either Sperm or Oocyte/embryo.
  • To select all tanks choose All storage locations.

 

A new window will open and it has the same functionalities as <a href="/index.php?title=Freezing_a_new_sample#Choosing_a_location_in_the_cryo_storage">Choosing a location in the cryo storage</a>. The only difference is when clicking on the Print button; it will be possible to print a list with all cryo preserved materials for the selection.

To dedicate a tank to Male, Female or both materials, access the <a href="/index.php?title=MedITEX_IVF_Settings#Cryo_storage">Cryo storage section</a> in the settings.
