A “sperm bank screen” in BBS is a module where all information related to donor sperm, cryopreserved samples and their clinical usage is recorded, tracked and quality controlled. 

A. What a sperm bank screen usually contains
BBS well designed module brings together inventory, chain of custody, clinical usage and compliance in one place.

1. Sample Identity + Metadata

  • Donor code, batch/lot number
  • Origin (internal donor, external sperm bank, patient partner)
  • Collection date/time, freezing date/time
  • Semen analysis results (pre freeze, post thaw)
  • Consent forms + legal documentation

2. Inventory + Storage Tracking

  • Straw/vial count (initial, current, used, discarded)
  • Storage location: tank → canister → cane → position
  • Alerts for low inventory or expiring consents
  • Automatic audit trail for every movement

3. Quality + Compliance

  • Infectious disease screening results
  • Quarantine status + release criteria
  • FDA/EU/Local regulatory compliance requirements
  • Temperature monitoring logs

4. Clinical Usage Workflow

  • Assignment of a specific straw to a specific cycle
  • Chain of custody verification (double witness, barcode, RFID)
  • Post thaw assessment + motility
  • Link to procedure (IUI, IVF, ICSI) outcome

5. Operational Controls

  • Permissions (embryologists only, lab manager override)
  • Locking rules to prevent accidental allocation
  • Full audit trail: who thawed, moved or used any sample

B. How this fits into the BBS clinical workflow
Our sperm bank screen integrates seamlessly with:

  • Cycle management → auto suggest eligible samples
  • Lab witnessing → barcode/RFID scanning
  • Billing → charge per vial, storage fees
  • Reporting → usage logs, donor utilization limits
  • QA/QC dashboards → thaw survival rates, donor performance

This creates a closed loop system where no sample can be used without proper identity, consent and QC validation.
