Quality Management System in IVF Laboratory - Quality Management and

Licensing and regulation in the ART laboratory
Several countries have in recent years introduced prescribed requirements for treatment and
monitoring of outcomes, as well as a licensing or accreditation requirement for in vitro fertilization
(IVF) clinics and their laboratories. It is common place for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
laboratories to be required to have a quality control system. However, more effective Total Quality
Management systems are now being implemented by an increasing number of ART clinics. In India, it
is now a requirement to have a quality management system in order to be accredited and to help
meet customers demand for improved delivery of ART services.
The guidelines set up by the ESHRE constitute the minimal requirements for any laboratory offering
assisted reproduction techniques (ART). The implementation of guidelines for good practice in IVF
laboratories requires a quality management programme to be in place, integrating quality control,
quality assurance and quality improvement. This should be done by the design of a quality policy and
a consequent implementation of a quality system that encompasses and integrates the operative
units, the processes and procedures that represent the core of ART clinics.
What is the need for Quality management Control in IVF Laboratory?
In IVF laboratories, the diversification of the applied procedures necessitates a major attention and
concentration, a systematic check of the results obtained, and a more complex training programme.
Extensive research is necessary before admitting new procedures to standard technique protocols
which are routinely performed in IVF laboratories.
As future perspectives, the IVF laboratory is deeply involved in defining novel techniques to be
admitted (i) as standard clinical protocols which are routinely performed to expand ART indications,
such as freezing of oocytes and ovarian tissue and in vitro maturation of oocytes, and improving
embryo implantation through a better selection of gametes, zygotes and embryos; (ii) in basic
research such as the generation of embryonic stem cell lines.
All these involvements require high-laboratory standards with highly qualified personnel, as well as
defined quality management systems. ESHRE guidelines for good practice in IVF laboratories,
together with the European Tissue Directives, no longer represent an option, but a prerequisite, to
operate and provide the best clinical outcome in a safe working
Total quality management(TQM) is an integrative philosophy of management for continuously
improving the quality of services and processes. Through the years,this concept has become
fundamental in Healthcare, a field in which a high standard of treatment should constantly be
pursued. Quality management focus on all processes performed within fertility units and how they
can be influenced and improved by TQM in order to provide patients with the best and most safe
treatments and procedures available. TQM can be a useful tool to improve efficacy and efficiency,
also with reference to financial and administrative aspects.

Quality Control in the IVF Laboratory
Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) in the IVF laboratory play an important role in the
success of any IVF program. The role of QC procedures in the IVF laboratory is to fine tune existing
protocols in order to more effectively help infertile patients in their quest to have a healthy baby.
The three most important physical conditions in the IVF laboratory that can be controlled are the
temperature, pH and osmolality of the IVF culture medium. Laboratories are required to document
and monitor these physical conditions regularly as part of their ongoing QC/QA programs.
Monitoring and documentation of temperatures inside incubators, refrigerators and freezers is an
integral part of routine day to day QC in the IVF laboratory.
Written procedures should be present describing the various phases of IVF techniques. Rules
concerning the correct handling and identification of gametes and embryo samples should be
established by a system of checks and, where needed,double-checks.
International standard and accreditation for IVF centres
ISO 9001 is the basic standard for ISO certification and is a requirement before other standards are
implemented such as EN 17025 and 15189. IVF is a clinical enterprise that involves physicians, nurses
and others whose tasks go far beyond a clinical laboratory. In fact, it is the integration of the clinical
team with the laboratory that requires the most attention to ensure that the highest quality service
will prevail.
ISO 9001 forms the basis for a quality management system internationally. Other standards may be
sought afterwards by those that may be interested in taking their quality systems further. it is to be
noted that ISO implementation can be costly, and careful attention should be made to not set too
many standards as a requirement. ISO 9001 serves as an excellent worldwide standard. All IVF
centres and IVF Laboratories must be encouraged to consider implementing a quality management
system. Experience has shown that, when conscientiously and properly implemented, ISO 9001 can
improve employee and patient satisfaction and overall quality. Newly implemented ISO 15189 may
offer new and improved standards for clinical laboratories.
The purpose of accreditation, which is voluntary, is to ensure that quality management and quality
assurance methods meet highly set standards of quality control. All these involvements require highlaboratory standards with highly qualified personnel, as well as defined quality management
systems.

There has been increased demand for transparency pertaining to the safety aspects, effectiveness
and health outcomes of ART treatments both from the general public, patients and regulators. The
important components that make a laboratory great are the people, procedure, equipment and the
laboratory design. Recruiting the right people is the critical step in setting up the best IVF laboratory.
An IVF center is only as good as the staff it employs and there is an absolute need to ensure
consistent and continuous education and training. QMS, that have been proven effective by other
industries, can be used by ART clinics to meet existing requirements by monitoring and controlling
the way in which services are delivered. Thus, by determining and meeting the expectations of
patients and other stakeholders, implementation of QMS will also be a vital tool for setting, planning
and meeting advancements through documented processes enabling continuous improvement.
