Cycles.

To add a new cycle, click on the Plus button at the bottom left corner of the screen. The following window will open:

New cycle.

Once the window has refreshed, it will display the Overview tab of the cycle. These tabs, displayed below, work similar to a time-line. They are specially positioned to recreate the normal work-flow of cycles. These tabs, also referred to as summaries, will always stay on the top part of the window and they will change according to the cycle created.

The summaries show the different treatment steps and have the following functions:

• They display the most important data.
• They show the status of the data and the their plausibility. These are indicated by round color symbols. If the symbol is red, put the mouse over it to know the reason.
• Click the different summaries to change between stages of the cycle.

Buttons

The top of the screen will always contain a series of buttons. Some other buttons will be displayed depending on the selected tab and they will be described separetly in each tab.

Buttons with a blue dotted frame have special functionalities. Click on them to have further information.

Overview

The top part of the Cycle overview displays important information about this cycle, such as: type of treatment, number of embryos planned, etc. The left section displays information containned in the Cycle details and if you click on this section, Cycle details will open. The right section contains information that is retrieved from the cycle in course, for example, it displays the date o the last menstrual period, the date of the triggering and the medication used, etc.

All the information presented in the cycle overview can be easily interpreted. Entries in four different groups can be made along a timeline containing every single day:

Events

Medication

MedITEX IVF provides you with a list of all main drugs that are used in reproductive-medical treatments. Additional drugs can be individually defined in the <a href="/index.php?title=MedITEX_IVF_Settings#Drugs">system settings</a>.

To add a new drug to the treatment, click the "M+" button on the left side of the window. In the new window, choose the drug, dosage and the application start and time. You can add additional drugs in the <a href="/index.php?title=MedITEX_IVF_Settings#Drugs">system settings</a>. Tip: Enter the first letter(s) of the drug in the field to find the drug you are looking for more quickly. Select the drug from the list and confirm by pressing <RETURN>. Convenient: By defining an application area, all drug-related data – including the therapy protocols – will be immediately ready as you select a drug. You can lock single mediactions with a double click (or right click) on it. Locked medications has a grey corner. <img src="/images/GreyConrner.png" alt="" width="51" height="17" />

To extend the time of taking drugs do the following:

• select the last medication field

• concurrently press the "Strg button" on your keyboard and click with your mouse on the required date in your calendar.

Culture

Precise documentation of every single oocyte.

Every egg cell is unique. Several methods have been developed to evaluate the development potential on cell and cleavage level. Cells are extracted, undergo a treatment, are frozen if necessary, transported, stored, thawed, cultivated again and transferred. Enough reasons to create documentation on cell level. The EU Directive "Cells and Tissue" also requires documentation on identifiability and traceability of each oocyte.

MedITEX IVF allows detailed documentation of all development stages and manipulations of each egg cell – exact to the day, including photos, scores, comments, performed analysis etc.

MedITEX IVF for the first time allows you to document complex laboratory processes realistically, for example post maturing of individual egg cells, adding of thawed oocytes or performing fertilization on the following day.

Every single obtained egg cell will be represented visually in a graphical overview. It allows entries for a maximum of ten cultivation days, although more then 5 to 6 days will most likely never be necessary. In the overview, development stages and manipulations such as insemination and injections, assisted hatching, polar body diagnosis, freezing and thawing processes, embryo transfer and more, can be assigned exact to the cell and day. All this can be done with a few mouse-clicks on the corresponding cells.

Table representation

Before entering data you should consider if you wish to put the focus of your documentation on summarized entries, or also on the individual egg cells. In the first case you should enter the data only in the table view, while in the second you should use the graphical representation. The graphical representation can also be used to "fine-tune” entries made in the tabular view.

The table and graphical representations are linked logically. Changes made in one of the two views will also be represented in the other.

Graphical representation

If that appears too complex, you can quickly insert data within a table overview. There you only need to enter summarized information about obtained, treated, fertilized and transferred egg cells.

Summed representation

An additional summed representation provides a quick overview of the culture processes. The tabs allow you to change between the views with a single mouse click.
