Tips for Embryo Transfers in PULSE

before you add embryos to inventory prior to entering your embryos to inventory, be sure to have all required details verify that the lab report or other listing that accompanied the delivery of your embryos is handy and available for reference note that the following details are required to add embryos to inventory code or donor id, name, or iso id fertilization date frozen date (for frozen embryos) in addition to the required items, other information that is useful when preparing to add embryos includes embryo breed straw or mating details embryo counts save time by importing embryos in batch! use the import embryos in batch docid\ xe24w8so0ee7cfvfn3xeb option to add multiple embryos as once! add embryo details using the template and then import your list to quickly add as many embryos as you'd like automatically add transfer events to recipient animals if you are adding embryo details after transfers are completed, include the recipient animal and transfer details in the template file while importing embryos using the import embryos in batch docid\ xe24w8so0ee7cfvfn3xeb process after the import, the embryo is added directly to the transferred embryos docid\ kr1cg8jwjcxb6rvl8zqto tab pulse also automatically adds a transfer event to the recipient's cowcard for the transferred date you specified see import transferred embryos docid\ xe24w8so0ee7cfvfn3xeb to learn more! embryo requirements for transfer pulse limits the transfer of embryos to those with the highest potential for success embryos must meet the following requirements to qualify for transfer embryo transfers are typically done with 4 to 8 day old embryos in pulse, you can only enter data for embryos that are less than 12 days old ( < 12) as noted in enter completed transfers as soon as possible! docid 1leiqjsjabimqmlmga k , you must be prompt with your data entry to capture embryo transfers in pulse must be grade 1 3 1 good 2 fair 3 poor must be stage 4 9 4 morula 5 early blastocyst 6 blastocyst 7 expanded blastocyst 8 hatched blastocyst 9 expanded and hatched blastocyst enter completed transfers as soon as possible! be sure to enter embryo transfers as soon as possible to avoid the 12 day embryo restriction (eage < 12) see embryo requirements for transfer docid 1leiqjsjabimqmlmga k for other embryo requirements embryo and transfer event sanity checks pulse completes a variety of checks to keep your embryo transfer data as accurate as possible the following sanity checks are done throughout the process if an animal was bred within 10 days, transfer events cannot be added and pulse flags the animal in an error message be sure to check that the recipient animal is correct when you see the bred error message if an animal is pregnant, the transfer event cannot be deleted if you made an error, first delete the reproduction event (bred, prev, , open, abort, fresh, sold, or died), and then delete the transfer event pulse warns you if you attempt to add a second transfer event to the same animal within 7 days transferred embryos default to an unsuccessful status if results are not added within 280 days embryo transfer results after the embryo transfer is completed and processed from either web or mobile, the embryo moves from embryo inventory docid\ fbeckbxg3aawwhpxvadtu to the transferred embryos docid\ kr1cg8jwjcxb6rvl8zqto tab then, when the recipient animal is checked and confirmed preg, open, abort, fresh, sold, or died, the embryo moves to the embryo results docid\ ussp9h0m6fn2qlou8dewd tab embryo transfers in dairycomp (for dcu dairies) when dairycomp receives a completed transfer event from pulse, it processes the following changes records a bred event and updates the status for all completed animals in the transfer event click here to learn more about the bred date and embryo age! if the embryo age is defined in the transfer event, then the bred event is back dated based on the age entered for example, if the embryo is 7 days old and is 8/21/19, then pulse transfer event is recorded as 8/21/19, and dairycomp will receive a bred event dated 8/14/19 if the embryo age is not defined in the transfer event, then the date of the transfer is used for the bred date assigns the embryo an id, which is auto created from the data entered in pulse transfer event this id stays with the embryo for the entire duration of the pregnancy records the embryo's sire id as the clears the recipient's (donor female) value once the embryo is transferred to the recipient female if dairycomp receives an embryo transfer event for a pregnant animal, it updates the animal's record to show a status of when dairycomp later receives a fresh event for the recipient female, then the embryo transfer is marked as "successful " learn more about fresh embryos embryos retrieved from donors using an or those gathered in a vial from an procedure are considered to be "fresh", as they are transferred to a recipient animal shortly after retrieval and are not frozen or otherwise preserved learn more about frozen embryos embryos retrieved from donors or an ivf procedure are analyzed for viability, and those rated as grade docid 1leiqjsjabimqmlmga k 1 or 2 are considered suitable for freezing embryos are handled carefully by certified technicians to ensure they are properly labeled and frozen to maintain viability and to correctly identify embryo parentage details once frozen, the embryos remain stored in a liquid nitrogen tank until ready to be thawed and transferred into a recipient animal
