    EMBRYO MONITORING SYSTEM

    With non-invasive and continuous Microscopic Monitoring of the embryos (Time-Lapse), we are able to receive crucial information regarding their development and potential ability to implant.
    IVF Athens Center has been equipped and installed the most sophisticated and advanced IVF technology in IVF laboratories.

     

    Following our commitment and devotion to the advances of science and with our intention to maximize the success of all procedures of assisted reproduction, IVF Athens Center has applied the revolutionary system of Continuous Microscopic Monitoring of the embryos for many years now.

     

    The embryos are placed in appropriate places in the incubators (Primo Vision) or special manufactured incubators (EmbryoScope®) connected with lenses which allow us to have constant observation of each embryo development every minute and every day (24/7).

     

     It is like there is a microscope inside the incubator watching and recording continuously and uninterruptedly any sign during embryonic life. It is worth mentioning that the microscopic monitoring does not have any negative consequences in the development of the embryos. On the contrary, the findings that result from its application increase the chances of achieving pregnancy up to 20%.

     

    Primo Vision

     

    This was the first monitoring system established in IVF Athens Center since September 2012, now on been replaced by new generation systems (EmbryoScope®).

     

    IVF Athens Center applies EmbryoScope®

     

    Keeping up to date with all major developments in assisted reproduction, IVF Athens Center has adopted an innovative incubation and monitoring system for embryos: the last-generation EmbryoScope®

     

    EmbryoScope® is a cutting-edge embryo incubator of high quality that can simultaneously monitor the evolution of up to 240 embryos, drawing critical information on their growth rate and dynamics.

     

    Real-time images of the embryos paired with the insight of our experienced embryologists and the specialized embryoscope’s software form a novel approach to the priceless trip to parenthood, providing absolutely precise information on the development of each embryo.

     

    Another embryoscope’s important advantage is that it offers unchanging environmental conditions. Embryos remain in the embryoscope throughout their five-day stay and incubation, thus any possible fluctuations that could happen during their scheduled examination by embryologists are avoided.

     

    Higher Success Rates and More Better-Quality Embryos with EmbryoScope®

     

    Due to the aforementioned advantages, a multitude of scientific studies internationally has concluded that clinical pregnancies with the use of EmbryoScope® show a significant 15-20% increase, in addition to the high rates of positive clinical results in IVF Athens Center.

     

    In our EmbryoScope® system we have installed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system which provides a score from every patient’s pool of embryos separately, indicating those embryos with the highest availability to implant. 

     

    EmbryoScope® in combination with Artificial Intelligence (AI) gives us the ability to 

    • avoid any manual annotation and disturbance of the growing embryos
    • choose the most appropriate embryo/s of the highest morphological and developmental quality for transfer. 

     

    Besides, we gain: 

    • the highest success rates in the shorter period of time
    • lower miscarriage rates
    • better selection and classification of  any embryo to vitrify for future use.
