Our Approach
Our Approach
At Haven, our mission is to provide peace at every step of the fertility preservation journey. That’s why we follow a number of protocols and procedures before, during and after transport to ensure our patients’ reproductive tissues remain safe and protected throughout the process.
1
Identify, locate, verify and document specimens to be transported.
2
Complete pre-move documentation and coordination, following standard operating procedure and cryopreservation best practices.
3
Schedule transport and prepare samples for shipment.
4
Place samples in canister and inside aluminum transportation dewars. Canisters are secured with ties to prevent movement or temperature changes during transport, and dewars are locked.
5
Upon arrival, tanks are signed for and brought into long-term storage facility.
6
Shipment tank is topped off with liquid nitrogen to ensure full submersion of the samples.
7
The canister is placed in a temperature-controlled Cyro Cart filled with liquid nitrogen.
8
Embryologist verifies the labeling on the cane tab, with a witness present for quality and assurance purposes.
9
Cane is removed from Cryo Cart and placed in a cryo sleeve inside a canister in the long-term storage tank.
10
Embryologist logs the storage locations of the samples in the inventory management system.
