Electronic witnessing: RFID or barcodes? A user’s perspective

Electronic Witnessing is widely considered to be an essential tool in the modern IVF laboratory, but different systems use a variety of technologies offering both advantages and disadvantages and thus a vastly disparate user experience.

Here we look at how the RFID electronic witnessing system RI Witness™ can benefit the clinic with its unique use of RFID. We’ll examine how it automatically monitors all workareas in the lab 24/7, preventing mismatches, ensuring SOPs are followed and crunching vital performance data to enable you to optimise the efficiency of lab resources. With Dr Claire Moran, Lab Manager, Repromed Ireland, we’ll review her wide-ranging experiences of the different electronic witnessing technologies available and discuss their advantages and usability.
