Positive Pressure System for IVF Labs
Problem Statement: Poor air quality negatively impacts IVF success rates by compromising embryo integrity and the overall lab environment, and affordable positive air pressure control is essential to prevent contamination.
Solution: Shivani Scientific has developed a solution called "Positive Pressure in IVF Lab" to address this problem. The concept of positive pressure involves maintaining a controlled environment within the IVF laboratory where the air pressure is higher than that outside the lab. This higher internal pressure acts as a barrier, effectively keeping contaminants at bay and ensuring the protection and preservation of gametes used in IVF procedures.
Concept of Positive Pressure in IVF Lab
Quality of air in the clinical embryology laboratory is considered vital for elevating IVF success rates, studies have suggested an association between poor laboratory air quality conditions and impaired embryo development, resulting in decreased implantation and pregnancy rates.
In IVF laboratories across the globe, the quality of the indoor air can make the difference between success and failure in IVF.
Shivani as your partner in Co-creating IVF success always endeavored to offer solutions to the fraternity to augment the IVF Success and establishing positive pressure in IVF lab is one of those many innovations.
Positive pressure is higher than outside, so contaminants (particles, viruses, bacteria) are kept out. This is done by ensuring that the exhaust air is run 10-15 percent lower than the supply air. The positive pressure environment is used to protect and preserve the integrity of gametes inside the IVF lab.
Innovation Status: Maintaining positive pressure in more than 1,500+ IVF labs
