At No.1 Fertility, we understand that every fertility journey carries hopes, dreams, and emotions. That’s why safety, trust, and personalised care are at the heart of everything we do.
Our team, led by Dr. Lynn Burmeister and Scientific Director Dr. Kelli Sorby, uses the RI Witness system, a world-leading technology that protects your eggs, sperm, and embryos every step of the way. Whether you’re starting IVF in Melbourne, exploring egg freezing, or beginning treatment at our new Sydney clinic, RI Witness gives you peace of mind that your most precious samples are in safe hands.
What Is RI Witness?
RI Witness is a digital identification and tracking system that adds an extra layer of safety in IVF laboratories. It uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) to assign a unique code to every patient’s eggs, sperm, and embryos.
This means that instead of relying only on handwritten or manual labels, your samples are tracked automatically and securely. Every movement whether fertilisation, culture, or transfer, is monitored in real time to make sure your embryos are always matched to you.
At No.1 Fertility, RI Witness represents more than technology, it’s a promise of care, accountability, and trust.
How We Use RI Witness
At our Melbourne and Sydney fertility clinics, RI Witness is part of our daily workflow. Here’s how it supports your treatment:
- Digital Tagging: Every egg, sperm, and embryo receives an RFID tag when it enters our lab, linked securely to your profile.
- Real-Time Checks: Our embryologists use touchscreen verification to confirm identity at every step from fertilisation to transfer.
- Double Verification: Two embryologists confirm every action, combining expert eyes with digital precision.
- Complete Transparency: Every movement is logged, so you can have confidence in the process from start to finish.
This technology allows our specialists, Dr. Burmeister, Dr. Sorby, and our expert embryology team, to focus more on what matters most: delivering personalised care and optimising outcomes that meet or surpass national benchmarks (ANZARD 2023–24 data).
Why RI Witness Matters
We’ve seen firsthand how much reassurance this system provides to our patients. Here’s why it’s such an important part of your IVF journey:
- Unmatched Safety: Ensures your embryos are always yours, eliminating the chance of mix-ups.
- Greater Confidence: Gives patients and clinicians total peace of mind throughout treatment.
- Optimised Results: Streamlined workflows mean our team can focus on personalised care and achieving the best possible outcomes.
- Top Standards: Supports our RTAC accreditation and aligns with Australia’s highest fertility lab standards.
As one patient told us, “The technology and care made us feel completely secure throughout the whole process.” (Shared anonymously with consent.)
