Info about the CooperSurgical embryo culture oil

You may have heard about the recent recall of an embryo culture oil produced by CooperSurgical due to a possible risk of the oil harming embryo development. We want to reassure our patients that the embryo culture oil we use was not subject to this recall and our patients’ embryos are not at risk. 

We maintain our commitment to providing the highest quality lab environment for our IVF patients. This recall demonstrates that, as with many medical treatments, problems can arise despite a medical practice’s best efforts. While we cannot predict the future, we remain focused on using high quality lab equipment and products to maximize embryo development, safety and success. We can also promise our patients transparency: if anything in the future were to impact embryos in our care, we would communicate directly with our patients to inform and discuss next steps.

If you have any follow-up questions or concerns, please contact us through the patient portal. Sincerely, your TRM team

Ask a Doctor

We get asked this a lot. HCG is the hormone secreted by pregnancy. The theory is that pregnancy diverts nutrients to the baby instead of the mother.
