WE'RE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE

Michigan's FIRST frozen donor egg bank,

which has produced

Michigan's FIRST frozen donor egg pregnancy!!

The Center for Reproductive Medicine and Surgery and SMART Labs had our F.D.A. inspection, which is always unannounced, in August 2007 and we passed with flying colors! The F.D.A. specifically looks at the quality control and assurance that sperm, eggs and embryos are handled appropriately and responsibly. Because our labs have earned a positive F.D.A. assessment, this is your assurance that our labs are functioning at the highest possible level of care.

If you ever have concerns about a laboratory's quality, one thing you can do is go to the F.D.A.'s website at www.fda.gov and check if the clinic's laboratory director has received any warning letters by typing the full name of the clinic or the lab director into the search window.
