Donor sperm in stock

What this card shows

The Donor sperm in stock card shows how many donor sperm devices, straws and vials, your clinic holds in storage right now. It is a single number: the donor sperm on your shelves today.

A device counts as donor sperm when it is recorded as donated. A donor's own samples, frozen for their own future treatment, are not counted. A device stays in stock until it is thawed or shipped out to another clinic.

The card counts every donor device in storage, including devices already reserved for a recipient or held back from release. To see how many of them you can still offer to a new recipient, use the Donor sperm in stock by release status card further down the same tab.

Reading the card

  • The number is always a snapshot of today. It does not change with the dashboard's Date filter.

  • The Clinic filter at the top of the dashboard narrows the count to the clinics you choose. Here, clinic means the site the storage tank belongs to, so a device counts toward the clinic where it is physically stored.

Where this data comes from

The card reads the cryostorage records in wawa. A device counts as donated when, on the sample's storage devices, its Freeze purpose or Use status is set to a donation value: Donation or Known donation for the freeze purpose, Donation or Donated to bank for the use status.

A donor's frozen samples are listed on the Cryo Storage tab of their donor page, under Cryostorage → Donors. Devices shown as Stored there are the ones this card counts, as long as they are marked for donation.

If a device is missing from the count, check its Freeze purpose and Use status. A donor's device frozen without a donation value is treated as the donor's own sample.

Opening this card

In wawa, open Insights from the sidebar, then go to Standard Reports → Donor → Donor and choose the Sperm tab. The Donor sperm in stock card is at the top left of the tab.
