<h2><span class="display-3">Where can I find a donor's medical history report?</span></h2>
<p>At Cryos, you can find our donors' medical history report under 'Summary of Records.' We include information about the donor, their medical history report and the quarantine released info all in one document. 'Summary of Records' can be downloaded at our site.</p>
<h2><span class="display-3">How do we screen our donors?&nbsp;</span></h2>
<p>We screen all of our donors extensively. Listed below are the types of screenings that are completed:</p>
<h3><span class="display-4">Sperm quality assessment</span></h3>
<p>A complete analysis is done to ensure that we only accept <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/find-donor/search-sperm-donors/">sperm donors</a> with the best sperm quality. We use a state-of-the-art Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) system to perform a complete analysis of the donor's sperm.</p>
<h3><span class="display-4">Background check</span></h3>
<p>The next type of screening a sperm donor goes through is a background check to verify education, employment, and criminal history.</p>
<h3><span class="display-4">Medical exam</span></h3>
<p>Part of the initial&nbsp;examination of a potential donor includes a medical exam to make sure they are in good health and to look for any signs of infectious disease. During the exam, a detailed family medical history is obtained to determine if there are any genetic conditions that could be passed from the donor.</p>
<h3><span class="display-4">Karyotype screening</span></h3>
<p>Donor candidates will undergo a chromosome analysis. The <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/donor-sperm/sperm-donor-screening/">sperm donor screening</a> will check for chromosome abnormalities, in order to help diagnose genetic diseases, some birth defects and certain hematologic and lymphoid disorders.</p>
<h3><span class="display-4">Hereditary disease screening</span></h3>
<p>In addition to a family medical history, which looks for hereditary diseases that cannot be tested for, each donor undergoes hereditary disease screening to find out if they are a carrier of selected diseases that may potentially be passed down to affect a donor child.</p>
<h3><span class="display-4">Infectious disease screening</span></h3>
<p>Each donor undergoes infectious disease screening before initial donation and before their first sperm batch is released from quarantine (about 6 months later). Our <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/donor-sperm/using-a-sperm-donor-to-get-pregnant/">donor sperm</a> is kept in quarantine for 6 months to abide by FDA regulations and ensure that there are no infectious diseases present after the 6-month check-up. The donor sperm will be made available to clients for purchase, after the second screening.</p>
<p>All screening and testing is done thoroughly and extensively and Cryos uses FDA-approved and licensed centers to handle the testing. Please note that genetic screening has changed over time and continues to evolve with better technology and expanded numbers of tests. Due to this, not all donors have been screened for the same disorders.</p>
<p>Cryos will continue to lead the industry in regard to donor screening and will continue to update our screening policies as new technology becomes available. Donors with positive results for diseases or serious hereditary mental and physical diseases are rejected.</p>
