Cycles

In the bottom part of the starting window are summarized the previous cycles the patient underwent.

Cycles.

Open a cycle with a double-click on the selected line.
To add a new cycle, click on the Plus button at the bottom of the screen. The following window will open.

New cycle.

Take a look at the Cycle details clicking its button.

Go directly to the female or male medical history with the button Open associated med. history.

Overview

The summaries on the top of the window 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 (“Warnings”)
By clicking on one treatment summary you can access the corresponding treatment area.

The summaries are generated dynamically and adjusted according to treatment type.

The cycle is plausible if information has been entered in all relevant treatment steps and only green warnings are visible.

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

Events: Shows important events such as the first day of the last menstrual period, follicle aspiration, transfer, or clinical pregnancy. MedITEX IVF will generate this information automatically according to user’s entries in the corresponding therapy areas.

Medication: A dynamic area where you can create an individual line for every drug used during the treatment

Hormones: Reserved fields for the values of the five most important hormones: FSH, LH, E2, PRG and HCG

Follicle US: In this area you can document folliculometry and other ultra sound data including photographs of ovaries. The pictures and follicle measurements produced by special ultrasound devices can be automatically imported to MedITEX IVF via the DICOM interface, if the DICOM module has been purchased.

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 system settings.

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 system settings.
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.

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.
