Electronic Witness Verification System
Ensuring accuracy and safety in every medical procedure
In assisted reproductive treatments, multiple steps are involved, including oocyte retrieval, sperm collection, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. Each of these procedures requires strict identity verification. To minimize the risk of human error, the Electronic Witness Verification System employs RFID chip technology to assist embryologists in confirming specimen identity, thereby providing an additional layer of security and ensuring the safety of the entire treatment process.
What is the Electronic Witness Verification System?
Witness is an electronic identification system specifically designed for assisted reproductive medicine. It utilizes RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology to continuously monitor and automatically verify the consistency between biological samples (sperm, oocytes, embryos) and patient information, ensuring the accuracy of every procedure.
Core Functions
Unique Identification Tags
Each patient receives a personalized RFID tag at the start of treatment.
Verification at Key Stages
During oocyte retrieval, sperm collection, fertilization, embryo culture, and embryo transfer, the system automatically cross-checks patient identity to prevent mismatches.
Real-Time Alert Mechanism
If any inconsistency is detected, the system immediately issues an alert.
Laboratory Quality Control
The system monitors workflow to enhance efficiency and maintain laboratory quality.
Indications
- The system is applicable to all patients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization, oocyte cryopreservation, or embryo cryopreservation. It is particularly beneficial for patients undergoing complex or multi-step treatment protocols.
Workflow of the Witness System

病歷建檔進 Witness 系統
Once the patient enters the IVF program, medical records are automatically imported into the system.
身份建檔進 Witness 系統
The couple’s photographs and identification documents are uploaded for verification.
療程容器晶片卡驗證
All treatment containers are embedded with RFID chips.
系統建置標準流程
The system is preloaded with standard IVF procedures to ensure consistent quality.
資料自動帶入，縮短校對時間
When containers are changed, data are automatically transferred to the new container, reducing manual checking time.
晶片手環確認身份
During oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer, patient identity is reconfirmed using RFID wristbands.
提升滿意度與安心感
These design features provide reassurance and convenience to patients throughout the treatment process.
Our Commitment: Safeguarding Safety
The Reproductive Research Laboratory at Lee Women’s Hospital has adopted the Witness Electronic Verification System to uphold the highest standards of accuracy and safety in laboratory operations. At every step, the system automatically recognizes RFID chips and issues immediate alerts in the event of discrepancies or omissions. This not only assists embryologists in double-checking but also records the entire workflow, thereby reducing operation time and preventing potential harm to embryos. By continuously optimizing medical procedures, Lee Women’s Hospital remains committed to providing reliable support for families pursuing parenthood.
