Embryo Witnessing System

Embryo Witnessing Systems are being used in multiple fertility clinics across the globe. It provides embryologists with complete peace of mind while they carry out all the necessary IVF steps in a busy IVF laboratory. An IVF laboratory that has installed EWS may see an increase in the clinic's overall success rate. However, only a relatively small number of facilities, including those in India, have used EWS technology up to this time, including DYU healthcare. DYU’s goal is to spread the right words regarding EWS procedures to help you understand the concept as easily as possible. Please read below to understand in brief about EWS and for better comprehension you may consult our highly qualified doctors at the clinic.

One of the most recent developments in IVF clinical practises is the Embryo Witnessing System (EWS), which uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and/or distinctive barcoded labels to track all crucial work completed at all stages of the IVF process cycle. RFID-based EWS tracks and records patient data as well as biological sample information during the entire IVF procedure using RFID tags. At each stage of the IVF process, the patients and biological samples are identified using unique barcode labels and a barcode scanner. Every step of the IVF cycle is protected by these technologies, which help to reduce the possibility of human error whenever gametes are transferred from one dish or tube to another.

Major benefits of using Embryo Witnessing System:

• It stops the embryologists from inadvertently working on more than one patient's eggs or sperm at once.
• It clearly labels each step, preventing embryologists from skipping any essential steps and ensuring that all necessary steps are carried out before moving on to the next procedure in accordance with standard operating procedure.
• At every stage of the assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle, it detects the gametes that are being watched, and at the same time, captures all the progress information of the cycles.
• By monitoring the transfer of gametes or embryos from one dish or tube to another while following all procedural stages, this technology reduces the chances of sample mix up during IVF.
