The profession of clinical embryology has evolved considerably.

Clinical embryology is a sophisticated profession demanding exacting standards and laboratory guidelines, all of which depend on a fine-tuned IVF laboratory. Rigorous quality management systems are increasingly becoming a cornerstone of successful embryology and are now essential for consistently good results.

Clinical embryology is bound by International Standards such as ISO and increasingly regulated by national (such as HFEA in the UK) or international bodies that assess and control the quality of work.

Reflections™ is ideal for this highly regulated arena where daily quality assurance checks include recording numerous parameters such as temperatures for incubators or warming stages, percent CO2, pH, air quality and many more. Reflections™ is highly adaptable for a broad range of equipment monitoring, not only for IVF.

In the past, defective equipment often only was traced after it had unpleasant effects on pregnancy rates. But today, Reflections™ allows entry of quality management data on a daily basis, with clean and simple screens that avoid noise and distraction, and particularly can often show up erratic instruments before they cause bad outcomes. Reflections™ is ideal for monitoring all IVF equipment, not only for trouble shooting but also for incident reports and peerless for inspections or audits of any kind.
