Donor oocytes in stock by donor type

What this card shows

The Donor oocytes in stock by donor type card splits the donor oocyte (egg) devices, such as cryotops, your clinic holds in storage right now by donor type: Known donor or Anonymous donor.

A device counts as known-donor material in two cases: it was frozen with the freeze purpose Known donation, or a treatment cycle names its donor as a known oocyte donor. Every other device counts as anonymous, including one from a donor who has not yet been added to any cycle.

Known-donor material is usually reserved for one family and is not available for general matching. Read it separately from the anonymous pool when you judge what you can offer a new recipient.

The card counts devices, not oocytes. One cryotop commonly holds several oocytes, so the number of oocytes is usually higher.

A device counts as donor oocytes 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.

Reading the card

  • Each bar is one donor type. The height of the bar is the number of devices in stock of that type. Hover over a bar to see its count.

  • If none of your devices was frozen as Known donation and no cycle names any of your donors as a known donor, the card shows only the Anonymous donor bar.

  • The chart 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 chart 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.

  • The Donor oocytes used in cycles, by donor type card beside it shows how many treatment cycles each month used a known or an anonymous donor.

Where this data comes from

The donor type comes from two places: the treatment cycles the donor has been added to, and the freeze purpose on each device.

On a patient's treatment cycle, the Gametes tab has an Oocytes provider section. Staff add a donor there with Add Oocyte Provider, then Add Donor or Add Known Donor. The donor then appears in the section with a Donor or a Known donor badge.

If your clinic manages donors in Cryostorage → Donors, the menu has a single Add Donor option. wawa then records the donor as known when the Clinic identity on their donor profile is Show name, and as anonymous when it is Anonymous (ID only).

A device also counts as known-donor material when its Freeze purpose, in the device's details on the sample's edit page, is Known donation, whether or not a cycle names its donor yet.

Stock is read from the cryostorage records. 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 device frozen without a donation value is treated as the donor's own sample and is not counted.

Opening this card

In wawa, open Insights from the sidebar, then go to Standard Reports → Donor → Donor and choose the Oocytes tab. The Donor oocytes in stock by donor type card is on the left of the tab, in the row below Donor oocytes in stock by donor age at freeze.
