In today’s day and age, there seems to be new medical breakthroughs and increased early detection for many medical conditions. With medicine constantly changing, it is important to ensure our clients are getting accurate and up to date medical history information before, during, and after an insemination, therefore Cryogenic Laboratories, Inc. has developed a method to keep our patients and physicians in the know. As part of our high quality service, we offer a free donor status check. The check donor status information can be found at our website, or by following the direct link here: Check Donor Medical Status.
So how do we keep in touch with all of our donors and who updates this information? Initially donors complete a medical history review with our staff, and as part of the screening process, we alert all donors that if any additional medical information comes to light they should notify our staff immediately. Likewise they also agree to give us annual updates for a minimum of 18 years after they cease donations at our facility.
To help check in on our retired donors, we contact them to get medical history updates. The most common updates are marriages and children, but we also get additional medical information on their family that may not have been in existence at the time of donation.
Once our lab staff obtains the new medical information we pass it along to our client services representatives and if need be to our genetic counselor for review. After reviewing the information, the donors profile is updated accordingly.
We take our donors and their medical history seriously and hope that we can continue to provide the best and most accurate health information at the click of a mouse.
