Product preview · Fictional patient data
For third-party reproduction
Donors, gestational carriers and intended parents are linked by one plan, but each person keeps their own record, consent and permissions. OvaFlow is designed to keep those lines clear.
Consent on the right chart: moved to Sam's chart, move recorded
Who this is for
Teams and families working with donors, gestational carriers or reciprocal IVF.
One plan, separate people
Intended parents, a donor and a gestational carrier share one treatment plan. Each keeps their own record, consent and permissions, and updates reach only the people they belong to.
Several people's roles blurred into one “care team”.
Separate roles and charts for every person involved.
Consent filed under the wrong person's chart.
Misfiled consent moved to the right chart, with a visible trail.
Clearance from one attempt reused for the next.
Clearance tied to one specific attempt.
Donor health updates that don't reach every clinic holding related material.
Donor health updates passed to linked facilities without exposing unrelated identities.
A day in the cycle
Drawn from the prototype walkthroughs. Times are from the fictional demonstration day.
Third-party reproduction—donor oocytes or sperm, donated embryos, gestational carriers, and reciprocal IVF—links two to four adults on one shared family-building plan while requiring strict separation of medical charts, independent legal representation, attempt-specific clearance, and FDA 21 CFR Part 1271 donor eligibility records [1, 2, 3, 4].
Avery & Sam (reciprocal IVF / intended parents) + Donor or Gestational Carrier intake
Spouses, intended parents, and carriers are squeezed into 'partner notes' on a single chart, exposing private history.
Assigns each person their own chart, role, and permission boundary while linking them to one shared plan ID
Separate charts · Linked to 1 planSigned consent form uploaded under Avery's chart instead of Sam's chart
Staff delete and re-upload a misfiled PDF with no record of why it moved, or miss that Sam's signature is on the wrong chart.
Moves the misfiled consent to Sam's chart with a visible audit trail showing source, destination, and actor
Moved to Sam's chart · Trail visibleDonor infectious-disease / risk screening (21 CFR 1271 Subpart C) and cryoshipper arrival
Receiving a shipped donor tank is treated as clearance to warm and transfer before eligibility documentation is verified.
Tracks quarantined transport separately from clinical-use donor eligibility release
Shipment separate from clinical releasePreparation for a second embryo transfer attempt after an earlier cycle
Clearance letters from Attempt 1 are silently carried over to Attempt 2 without verifying contract terms or re-clearance.
Binds legal and medical/psychological clearance to Attempt 1 only; Attempt 2 opens a fresh clearance check
Attempt 1 completed · Attempt 2 check openPost-donation genetic or medical update reported for a donor with material at two clinics
One clinic files the donor update locally while a sibling cohort at a partner clinic never hears about it.
Shares the de-identified donor health notice with every linked facility and tracks acknowledgment from each
Both clinics acknowledged · Identities protectedWorked multi-party case · Avery & Sam, Donor Material & Gestational Carrier
Follow Avery and Sam's third-party and reciprocal IVF coordination: keeping each person's chart private, moving a misfiled consent with a visible record, holding Attempt 2 until fresh clearance is recorded, and routing a late donor health update across two facilities.
Why this moment matters in an IVF clinic
Under 21 CFR Part 1271 Subpart C (§1271.50–.90), reproductive HCT/P donor eligibility requires specific screening and testing within statutory windows, and quarantined shipment under distinct labeling is legally separate from clinical release [1]. Meanwhile, ASRM gestational carrier and LGBTQ+ family-building guidelines mandate independent legal counsel, separate charts, and attempt-specific clearance verification [2, 3, 4].
In OvaFlow, linking Avery, Sam, a donor, and a gestational carrier to one treatment plan never merges their medical records. Each adult has an independent chart, portal view, and confidentiality boundary in accordance with ASRM intimate-partner and gestational-carrier ethics opinions.[3][4]
When a signed consent document belonging to Sam is discovered under Avery's chart, OvaFlow moves the document to Sam's chart while preserving a permanent, visible record of where it was filed, who moved it, and when.[4]
Consistent with ASRM gestational carrier guidance requiring verification of legal agreement terms and medical/psychological readiness before each transfer cycle, OvaFlow ties clearance to Attempt 1. When Attempt 2 begins, the prior clearance is shown as historical and cannot satisfy Attempt 2.[3]
OvaFlow separates quarantined donor shipment arrival from clinical-use donor eligibility verification [1, 2]. Later, when a donor health update is reported, OvaFlow routes the notice to both linked facilities holding related gametes or embryos and tracks each clinic's acknowledgment without exposing unrelated recipient identities.[1][2]
Each transfer attempt requires its own fresh legal and clinical clearance, and shipped donor tissue stays on hold until clinical-use eligibility is confirmed.
OvaFlow tracks document placement and clearance status; legal counsel, FDA donor eligibility determinations, and clinical release stay with qualified professionals.
How Avery, Sam, a donor, and a gestational carrier stay linked to one plan without merging medical records or reusing Attempt 1 clearance for Attempt 2.
Who's involved
A relationship alone grants no access to another person's record. Each person below has their own chart, consent and permissions.
The people who will be the parents of a child born through treatment, including when a donor or gestational carrier is involved.
A person who provides eggs, sperm or embryos for someone else's treatment. Later health updates may need to reach every clinic holding related material.
A person who carries a pregnancy for intended parents, with their own role, chart and consent.
A path where one person provides the eggs and the other carries the pregnancy.
Prototype walkthroughs
Recorded from the interactive design prototype with fictional patient data. Open one to play it here with chapters and captions.
Every member of the procedure team commits to the slot, a mid-cycle insurance change rebuilds the estimate, consent lands on the right person's chart, and the interpreter is booked for every visit.
Shipping clearance isn't clinical clearance, a bounced email isn't abandonment, and a model update waits for the medical director.
Common questions & sources
How OvaFlow handles edge cases, clinical authority, and source-system boundaries for this role.
Instead of deleting the file and losing provenance, OvaFlow allows authorized staff to move the consent to the rightful person's chart (for example, from Avery's chart to Sam's chart) while keeping a visible audit trail of the correction.
When a donor health update is logged, OvaFlow notifies every linked facility holding related gametes or embryos without exposing recipients' private identities across clinics, and tracks until each facility acknowledges the update.[2]
