Temporary IVF Laboratory Pause — Patient Information Update
Updated: May 12, 2026
We are writing with another update because we have reached the next meaningful milestone in the reopening process.
Since our last communication, installation of the additional equipment to enhance the environmental systems supporting our IVF laboratory has been completed. The lab is now in its testing phase, and our team is working through the required testing procedures and reopening protocols before IVF laboratory services resume.
This is important progress.
The testing phase is a careful quality-assurance process designed to confirm that the laboratory environment and systems are performing as expected under the enhanced conditions now in place.
If testing and reopening protocols progress as expected, we anticipate IVF laboratory services could resume in approximately two weeks. We want to be clear that this is not yet a confirmed reopening date. The final timing will depend on testing being completed successfully and reopening protocols being finalized.
For patients waiting to move forward, this means OMEGA is now in the final major phase before reopening. At this stage, patients do not need to take any new action unless they have specific questions about their individual care.
There continues to be no indication that patients were exposed to any safety risk. Embryos and genetic material in cryostorage were not affected and remain safely stored.
We will provide another update once testing is complete and reopening timing is confirmed, or sooner if there is another meaningful milestone to share.
Thank you for your continued patience, trust, and understanding as we complete this final phase of the reopening process.
