A multi-center evaluation of a novel IVF cryostorage device in an active clinical setting.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate the function, and usability of a novel automated software-guided cryostorage system in an active IVF laboratory setting. The investigational device (ID) was installed at 3 IVF laboratories (sites: α, β, and γ). A total of 15 embryologists were trained to use the ID. Mock patient specimens containing mirrored live patient data were handled using the ID. Temperature readings were recorded every minute. Successful identification, storage, and retrieval of mock patient specimens by the ID were evaluated. To assess an LN₂ pressure builder, the frequency of use and events of workflow interruption were logged. Student's t-test was used to determine statistical significance. The ID was in active use for 164 days total. During this time, 329 mo
