Dr Sweta Gupta Explaining RI Witness Video Script
1) What is RI Witness all about? 0:27
RI Witness is an electronic witnessing system which is used in the IVF/embryology laboratory. This system improves tracebility and quality control and tracebility, which reduces laboratory-based risk, which means that it reduces human error in IVF lab.
2) Why is a RI Witness needed in an IVF Laboratory? 0:50
Sample handling is the most important aspect in any laboratory, an embryologist or any staff member carrying out procedures needs to be extremely vigilant while handling samples especially in an IVF lab. A small error can mix up gametes and embryos and can have disastrous consequences.
3) How does RI Witness work? 0:22
RI Witness works by using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to detect and monitor all activity going on in the IVF Laboratory. This system helps to reduce the risk of human error in sample handling which means that it locks the patient’s identity to the sperm, eggs and embryos at every stage of the IVF cycle. This way the samples are continuously monitored every time they are moved from one dish or tube to another.
To have a clear understanding, lets discuss in detail how RI Witness works:
a) The first step is tracking samples:
· The RFID tags in RI witness allows the embryologists to identify, track and record patient samples at every step of the ART procedure.
· The entire lab area can detect wireless signals from the RFID tags which ensures a secure cycle record.
· RI Witness reads all dishes simultaneously and automatically and allows the operator to work uninterrupted
b) The second step is during the insemination procedure:
· The RI witness validates the identity of the samples and allows the embryologists to proceed with the process of insemination.
· And in between if the samples get mismatched, then the system identifies it immediately and interrupts the process preventing any kind of potential errors.
· Even the samples that are not transferred and frozen for future use can be identified later whenever required,
c) The third step is during the transfer process:
· While transferring the female recipients ID card is automatically checked against the embryos just prior to the transfer process.
RI Witness: is an excellent alternative in managing ART laboratories.
RI Witness, provides security for IVF labs, which enables a fertility clinic to offer transparent service to their patients ensure that proper protocols are followed, and only compatible samples are worked on at any one time. It helps to streamline processes as self-adhesive RFID tags are attached to all the laboratory plasticware, It is automatic and helps to monitor the samples without being dependent on any human interaction. No time consuming cross checking or labour-intensive manual witnessing. It also helps in full documentation of each procedure as a RI Witness's work area has a tablet computer connected to the server, intergrated with the patient's database. Good for one embryologist also.
