Marin Fertility Center Leads the Way in IVF Safety Measures with Novel Disinfection Approach

Addressing the Need for Enhanced IVF Facility Disinfection

GREENBRAE, Calif., June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Marin Fertility Center, a leading provider of advanced reproductive medicine, is proud to announce its pioneering research in the area of disinfecting the egg retrieval procedure room to combat airborne pathogens. The center has conducted groundbreaking studies on the use of aerosolized hypochlorous acid (HOCL) as a safe and effective disinfectant in the assisted reproductive technology (ART) environment.

Safe Disinfection in the Egg Retrieval Procedure Room Demonstrated

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring a sterile and safe environment in assisted reproductive technology (ART) facilities has become of paramount importance. Marin Fertility Center recognized the need for a disinfecting agent that could effectively reduce the transmission of airborne pathogens in the clinic and laboratory, while maintaining the integrity of gametes and embryos. Through extensive research, the center investigated the safety and efficacy of aerosolized HOCL, a naturally occurring substance known for its favorable disinfecting properties.

Marin Fertility Center’s Commitment to Safety and Innovation

Marin Fertility Center, represented by Medical and Laboratory Director Dr. Peter Uzelac, presented their initial research findings at the 71st annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society PCRS in Indian Wells, CA in March 2023. The center is currently preparing to present additional findings at the ASRM 2023 Scientific Congress & Expo in October 2023. “Our findings have indicated that aerosolized HOCL appears to be a safe option for disinfecting the egg retrieval procedure room,” stated Dr. Uzelac, a renowned expert in reproductive endocrinology and a key contributor to the study. “Even after we have turned the page on the pandemic, surges of airborne pathogens such as the seasonal flu will continue to exist. These studies highlight Marin Fertility Center’s commitment to advancing patient safety and revolutionizing the standards of care in the field of reproductive medicine.“

Pioneering a New Approach to IVF Facility Disinfection
