In cases such as donor-split or egg-sharing treatment agreements, you are able to differentiate the donation status and destination on a device level within wawa.

This involves indicating the use status of the devices in the cryostorage record.

To indicate a donor split, use the following steps:

  1. Locate the relevant cryostore record or create a new record

    • Click "Edit" on the samples for preexisting samples

    • OR Input this information directly when creating a new sample

  2. Indicate the freeze purpose

  3. Indicate the use status

    • For own use, use the status own use

    • For donation, use the status donation or donated to bank

  4. Click "Save"

You will now see the donor split indicated on a per-device level. This allows you to view which device and individual gametes or embryos are intended for.
