Failure of Egg Retrieval Sample Clauses

Failure of Egg Retrieval. It is possible that the aspiration will fail to obtain any eggs or the eggs may be abnormal or of poor quality and fail to produce any viable eggs. Because ice crystals can form within the eggs and damage them, the embryologist places the eggs in special solutions to remove the water from the eggs and then bathes them in protectant solutions during the ‘flash’ freezing process known as vitrification. Eggs may not survive the freezing process or technical or mechanical or power failures may occur causing loss of some or all of the eggs. This may or may not affect the cryopreserved egg’s capacity for fertilization or implantation. Cryopreserved / vitrified eggs are stored in liquid nitrogen storage containers until they are removed for warming. Technical, mechanical or power failures can occur at any point in the freezing process or anytime during the storage which could result in the loss of the future viability of the eggs. Likewise, once the eggs are in storage, technical problems, terrorism, fire, and certain acts of nature (earthquake, prolonged loss of power, etc) could result in the loss of some or all of the frozen eggs. Summary of future procedures for subsequent attempts at egg fertilization, embryo growth in vitro, and embryo transfer using the cryopreserved eggs from this cycle (those later procedures requiring subsequent separate informed consent and agreement documents) : At a time when you wish to attempt to conceive, you will be given medication to regulate your cycle to coincide with the time of egg warming. For the eggs that survive the warming process (if any), trained laboratory personnel will perform Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), a procedure where one sperm is directly injected into each mature egg using a very fine glass needle to achieve fertilization. The risks of ICSI include damage to either the egg or sperm resulting in either lack of fertilization or death of the egg or sperm. In some instances, the damage is more subtle and the embryo produced will not be normal and will have to be discarded. Successful fertilization rates with ICSI are similar or superior to routine in-vitro fertilization in the hands of experienced qualified embryologists. As with all laboratory procedures, there is a risk of damage to the egg and/or sperm during handling. There is no guarantee of how many or that any of the frozen eggs will survive the warming process or how many or if any of them will successfully fertilize and mature into an embr...

  • Commercially Useful Function A prime consultant can credit expenditures to a DBE subconsultant toward DBE goals only if the DBE performs a Commercially Useful Function (CUF). A DBE performs a CUF when it is responsible for execution of the work of a contract and carries out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible, with respect to materials and supplies on the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself that it uses on the project. To determine whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, the Department will evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the DBE credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors. A DBE will not be considered to perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, the Department will examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its contract with its own work force, or if the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, the Department will presume that the DBE is not performing a commercially useful function. When a DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially useful function as provided above, the DBE may present evidence to rebut this presumption. The Department will determine if the firm is performing a CUF given the type of work involved and normal industry practices. The Department will notify the consultant, in writing, if it determines that the consultant’s DBE subconsultant is not performing a CUF. The consultant will be notified within seven calendar days of the Department’s decision. Decisions on CUF may be appealed to the ADOT State Engineer. The appeal must be in writing and personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the State Engineer. The appeal must be received by the State Engineer no later than seven calendar days after the decision of XXXX. XXXX’s decision remains in place unless and until the State Engineer reverses or modifies BECO’s decision. ADOT State Engineer will promptly consider any appeals under this subsection and notify the consultant of ADOT’s State Engineer findings and decisions. Decisions on CUF matters are not administratively appealable to USDOT. The BECO may conduct project site visits on the contract to confirm that DBEs are performing a CUF. The consultant shall cooperate during the site visits and the BECO’s staff will make every effort not to disrupt work on the project.
