Information on QA Scheme: Blastocyst QAP - 2011
Comment = Images of day 5 human embryos for QAP purposes. The images are all animated gif files of multiple embryo images. The primary question used for quality assessments, the QAP question has been modified from 2003 with the introduction of a calculated embryo scrore parameter [ESP]. This allows for the assessment to be based upon the common criteria embryologists used in their daily embryo grading. The sum of each parameter leads to a calculated value that is submitted for assessment and comparison. The multiple images (3-4 animated images) is used to assess comparative judgements for both transfer and for freezing. A text based summary has been included allowing participants to review how others describe and guage embryos. While the replies to all questions can be probed from conformity, the QAP question forms the basis for internal quality control and for external comparison for both each staff member and for the clinic overall. A new question has been added to explore one capacity to identify the inner cell mass.
