Dear partners,
Trust is the foundation of our daily work. For this reason, we would like to reaffirm our firm commitment to safety, excellence, and genetic quality in every donor gamete we make available to you.
Your patients deserve the greatest possible peace of mind, and for this reason we guarantee that all our donors undergo a highly demanding selection process. At OvobankID, all our cells are assigned a European SEC Code, ensuring the traceability of human tissues and cells in accordance with the genetic quality standards established by the European Union.
DEMOGRAPHIC SAFETY
The recent and concerning news regarding a donor linked to multiple cases affected by a cancer-related gene highlights the importance of acting with responsibility and caution. At OvobankID, we strictly comply with the regulations that limit the number of live births per donor.
With the aim of preventing demographic and genetic risks such as those mentioned above, we actively request that all our collaborating centers inform us of the outcomes of the treatments performed. This cooperation is essential to guarantee the highest level of control, safety, and traceability.
OUR RIGOROUS SELECTION PROCESS
Safety begins with a thorough evaluation of each candidate:
Only one out of every three donors is ultimately accepted. Candidates undergo numerous medical tests, clinical analyses, and personal interviews. Approximately 70% are excluded for various reasons, with family history—including oncological history—being one of the main exclusion criteria.
Enhanced Genetic Protocol: We apply especially strict criteria to rule out any indication of pathology that could compromise the health of the future baby, including a history of cancer or hereditary diseases.
AT THE FOREFRONT OF GENETIC SCREENING
Our strategy to minimize the risk of genetic diseases is among the most advanced in the sector:
• Universal Test: Legally mandatory genetic screening covering the most common genetic conditions.
• Extended Screening (Optional Genetic Matching): An advanced test available for patients who wish to carry out a genetic compatibility study.
• Exome Study (Maximum Assurance): The most comprehensive genetic analysis on the market, available upon request to minimize risk to the greatest extent possible.
PEACE OF MIND AFTER PREGNANCY
Our commitment does not end with the delivery of the oocytes. To provide complete reassurance to your patients, we have a sample preservation protocol in place, whereby collaborating laboratories retain samples for the period established by current legislation.
At OvobankID, the trust you place in us and the safety of future babies are our highest priority. Thank you for continuing to rely on our work.
