The Hewitt Fertility Centre is the First UK Clinic to Adopt TMRW's State-of-the-Art Technology for the Safe Management of Frozen Eggs and Embryos Providing a New Standard of Care for Fertility Patients

NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- TMRW Life Sciences (TMRW), a fertility technology company automating the IVF lab, today announced its global expansion with the adoption of its technology in the United Kingdom (UK). The Hewitt Fertility Centre in Liverpool, England, will become the first clinic outside of the United States to adopt TMRW Life Sciences' CryoRobot Select (CRS), an automated platform for the safe management and storage of frozen eggs and embryos.

The Hewitt Fertility Centre Adopts TMRW's CryoRobot Select

Thanks to advances in assisted reproductive technology, more people than ever before are building families and storing frozen eggs and embryos – often for decades. The UK's Women's Health Strategy is making sure that this growth is inclusive, and the government's decision in 2022 to increase storage time limits for frozen eggs and embryos from 10 years to 55 years was an important response. But both efforts are overwhelming the legacy, manual storage systems and laborious hand-labelled identification methods that fertility clinics have relied upon for decades.

Over the last three years, The Hewitt Fertility Centre has completed in-depth studies to quantify the potential hazards associated with manual cryostorage of eggs and embryos following fertility treatment. The studies demonstrated that even when clinics use witnessing systems that use radio frequency identification (RFID) and establish top-notch handling procedures, manual cryostorage for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) is still prone to far too many potential points of failure. 

TMRW's CRS is an automated platform that combines proprietary, state-of-the-art hardware and software to safely track, monitor and store frozen eggs and embryos. For the first time in the UK, frozen specimens can now be digitally identified and tracked with RFID technology, safely managed with automated robotics, and remotely monitored around the clock. The CRS helps reduce potential points of failure by 94% compared to manual specimen management and storage systems, and it helps fertility clinics safely scale to meet growing patient demand.

"I am delighted for Hewitt Fertility patients and for the scientific team that we can finally announce the introduction of TMRW's CRS into our clinical pathways" said Dr. Rachel Gregoire, Scientific Director/HFEA Person Responsible for The Hewitt Fertility Centres. "It is a credit to Rebecca, Lead Clinical Embryologist and the team who have worked tirelessly with the incredible people at TMRW to make this happen. Almost three years ago, Hewitt demonstrated that manual cryostorage involves potential unnecessary handling events of patient samples in storage, and Hewitt is so pleased to be the first fertility clinic outside of the USA to offer TMRW's innovative CE Marked technology for our patients. We all wish to thank Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust for listening to us and for investing in this technology so that the Hewitt Fertility Centres can continue to be leaders in offering safe and innovative fertility treatments."

"Our partnership with The Hewitt Fertility Centre represents the first step in our global expansion and illustrates our commitment to raising the global standard of care," said Louis Villalba, Chief Executive Officer at TMRW. "We applaud The Hewitt Fertility Centre for being the first IVF clinic outside of the United States to adopt our CE Marked and FDA Cleared specimen management system. Our collaboration heralds a new era of safety and precision in managing frozen eggs and embryos in the UK." 

TMRW received a CE Mark for the CryoRobot Select in September, enabling commercialization across the UK and Europe. To earn the certification, the CRS was developed with state-of-the-art standards and met rigorous clinical safety and efficacy requirements established by European Medical Device Regulations. Along with an earlier clearance by the Food and Drug Administration, the European approval makes TMRW's robotic systems a new global standard.

About The Hewitt Fertility Centre
The Hewitt Fertility Centre, part of Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust, is one of the largest NHS owned providers of assisted conception, treating both NHS and privately funding couples throughout Cheshire and Merseyside. The Hewitt team are committed to providing their patients with the safest treatment they can offer, using only the best techniques and technology.  With the support of the Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust, they continue to invest in the latest technologies, and to be leaders in innovation in reproductive medicine.
