Are IVF labs safer today than they were a decade ago? They can be, but much of the available safety potential isn’t being fully realized.

In this week’s episode of Inside Reproductive Health, we’re joined by Dr. Eva Schenkman, an IVF lab director and founder of ArtLab, and Dr. Steven Katz, an REI and founder of REI Protect, to discuss risk mitigation and safety in IVF labs.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • The biggest risks IVF labs face (and cost effective strategies to reduce them)

  • The non-negotiables for lab safety (The 3 must-haves)

  • How manual tasks in the lab increase the risk for embryologists and practices.

  • What younger embryologists are demanding for better safety and support.

  • What Dr. Katz and Dr. Schenkman each like about a company called XiltriX

  • The top causes of malpractice lawsuits against fertility practices (and how to avoid them)

Listen now to learn how improving IVF lab safety protects patients, investments, and your practice’s future.
