Our Las Vegas Fertility Center Meets All Requirements for IVF Certifications and Testing
IVF is a complicated process. At times, IVF is also a misunderstood process, in terms of the rigor of IVF regulations, IVF certifications and testing. As one of the United States’ leading fertility centers, our Las Vegas fertility center and IVF lab are committed to maintaining full compliance with all IVF regulations, while maintaining all relevant certifications and accreditations to protect patient safety and optimize outcomes.
Everyone has seen stories in the media about IVF gone awry, and these can sometimes paint a picture of assisted reproductive technology (ART) akin to “the Wild West,” where IVF regulations are few and far between. But that is not the case. Not only must IVF providers adhere to rigorous federal regulations, we also are held to a strict level of accountability to our patients by reporting outcomes data as required by federal law.
How Fertility Center Las Vegas meets IVF certifications and testing requirements
Our Las Vegas fertility center complies with all of the many federal IVF regulations, and performs professional self-regulation through organizations such as the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART). It is valuable to understand some of the most significant ways that our Las Vegas fertility center prioritizes your safety and family-building goals by meeting IVF certifications and testing requirements.
- Outcomes data is right at your fingertips. Transparency and results matter when considering IVF providers. In meeting federal IVF regulations, our Las Vegas fertility center is required by the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act to report the outcomes of ART procedures to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This information is publicly available at sart.org, and we also provide it on our website.
- Adhering to safety requirements for surgical centers and labs. The Joint Commission accreditation process rigorously evaluates healthcare organizations, including surgical centers. Additionally, our partnership with our IVF lab services provider, Ovation® Fertility, ensures that our patients experience a high standard of excellence in all lab services. Since federal legislation passed in 1988, all laboratories are mandated to maintain accreditation through the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists. Ovation’s labs are in the capable hands of accredited High Complexity Lab Directors, certified by the American Board of Bioanalysis, who work beyond those requirements to achieve a higher level of consistency and accountability.
- Layers of accountability in donated sperm and eggs. If you are using donated sperm or eggs for IVF, it’s important to know that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates human reproductive tissue to check for relevant medical records and risk factors of infectious diseases, and also sets documentation guidelines.
- Confidence in your care. Our physicians are board certified reproductive endocrinologists, with the advanced, highly specialized training to deliver the personalized care you need. We also adhere to informed consent recommendations from ASRM/SART to ensure that patients are educated and empowered.
