Training activity information

Details

Review monitoring data to ensure operating within safe limits and make recommendation for actions where required for:

  • Heated stages
  • Incubators
  • Liquid nitrogen dewars
  • Tube warmers

Type

Entrustable training activity (ETA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion. ​

Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.

Considerations

  • Measurements taken to assess parameters directly affecting embryo quality and the implications of exceeding tolerance limits
  • Environmental variables, such as temperature and CO2, and their impact on sample viability
  • Identification of common faults and remedial action
  • Quality management system
  • Monitoring system and call out system for 24/7 monitoring
  • Uninterruptable power supply (UPS) requirements for critical equipment
  • Role in maintaining patient safety
