d. The parameters shown in the overview are no more constrained to 5 most important hormones. From now on it is possible to select any laboratory parameter for display in the cycle overview (see point 10.b.ii). The parameters are grouped automatically into groups that can be collapsed and expanded at will. 7.) Culture: a. New embryo stadium is introduced: Start of cavitation, between Morula and Early blastocyst. b. Besides images, it is now possible to attach videos also. c. For each oocyte/embryo it is now possible to enter the incubator data, either over the context menu in the graphical culture representation, or in the development form for each embryo. Information about incubators used in the clinic can be defined in system settings. 8.) Transfer: The development stage of the embryo is now also explicitly shown: 4 cells, 8 cells etc. 9.) Patient data: Two new fields have been added: Birth place and State". 10.) System settings: a. Grouping of letters: in the administration of report editor letters (SettingsSystemReport editorAdministrate letters) it is now possible to define a subgroup for each letter. It is enough to write the group name in the field Group, or to select one of the existing ones.
Page 3 of 22

The letters belonging to the same group will be grouped in a submenu item with the group name. b. In the "lab" tabsheet it is now possible for each parameter to define the following: i. If a parameter should appear in the home screen, in the list of lab tests. The result of the most recent examination will be shown. ii. If a parameter should appear in the calendar of therapy overview (as described in the point 6.d). iii. If a parameter should be offered in the mask for fast entry of more parameters at once, Multiple entry in laboratory values, in laboratory diagnostics. iv. Validity period for each parameter. The choices offered are "unlimited", "2 weeks", "1 month", "3 months", "6 months" and "12 months". If the validity period of a parameter shown in the lab diagnostics or in the home screen has expired, or the parameter has not been examined at all, the parameter row will be marked in red.

c. The item list of the field Group for lab parameters can now be freely extended by user defined groups, in SystemSettingsSystem tablesLaboratory parameter: group. d. In the clinic data, it is now possible to enter the clinics state/province. Provinces can be added/edited in SystemSettingsSystem tablesProvinces. e. Different personal customizations can be saved per user, in the Edit staff data" form of the staff area. So it is possible to set the visibility of up/down buttons in the table representation of culture, or to define the size of the preview images in hints (embryo images in culture and ultrasound images in therapy overview). f. The basis for the automatic calculation of the current pregnancy week, abort week and birth week can be set as - Fertilization day (default), or - Reference date (Last menstrual period or treatment start date).

11.) System settings interface to MedITEX Scheduler: Automatic generation of appointment proposals in MedITEX IVF (possible only in conjunction with the MedITEX Scheduler - see also feature point 15): In System settingsSystemInterfacesMedITEX Scheduler you will find a list of certain events, which trigger the automatic generation of appointment proposals.

In this way it is possible to define appointment proposals for insemination, aspiration, transfer, or pregnancy test. If an event is triggered, an appointment proposal will appear in MedITEX Scheduler, with the patient name, estimated appointment date and time, and treatment. The administration of an oocyte-triggering drug, for example, will generate an appointment proposal for oocyte aspiration, which should take place 36 hours after the drug administration. In another example the setting of a transfer date in MedITEX IVF in the future will generate a transfer appointment proposal in MedITEX Scheduler. The user can change the following settings for each of predefined events: Active: Defines if an event triggers an appointment or not.
Page 5 of 22

h (time after the event): Defines the start of the appointment, in hours, after the date and time of the triggering event. Appointment / Treatment: All treatments defined in Scheduler can be chosen here. Rule: An additional condition for the start time of the proposed appointment.

12.) Report editor: a. A certain number of tables and fields in report editor have been revised, in order to ease the creation of user-defined queries. As a consequence it may happen in rare cases that some existing queries can no more be executed. If you encounter such a problem, please contact directly the software support. We will help you to restore the query in question. The support can be reached Mon. to Thu. from 8:30 CET to 17:00 CET Friday from 8:30 CET to 14:00 CET Hotline +49 941 56 99 87 70 Email support@critex.de Fax +49 941 56 99 77 40 b. In the report editor results window it is now possible to refresh the result with the "Refresh" button, without the need to go back to query design window and run the query again. c. For letter templates created in Word module there are several new "additional placeholders" now available: for ultrasound images, similarly to embryo images, and for current date and time. d. To facilitate evaluations over different couples, the new field "couple" in therapy and inseminations table was introduced. 13.) Main menu: Over the menu item FileChange User users can now only switch to another user, or log off. In order to continue using the program with the same user it is necessary to enter the password first. 14.) Interfaces: a. Interface to Synlab: Web orders of laboratory parameters with Synlab. b. MedITEX DocLink The new Add-On "MedITEX DocLink" enables quick and easy importing of files into the different areas of MedITEX IVF. The files to be imported can be sent with the right mouse click directly to MedITEX DocLink. The other possibility is to drag and drop them directly into the opened MedITEX DocLink window. Using the buttons in top area the document(s) can be stored for one patient in different program areas:

Page 6 of 22

1. Patient document storage a. Patient data (general document, attention message, note) b. Laboratory diagnosis (grouped after laboratory values) c. Examination (in all existing examination types) 2. Oocyte/Embryo development 3. Incubators 4. Semen analysis (general, native, preparation) 5. Ultrasound examinations

15.) Double Witnessing: statistical examination of 50 spermiograms Each 50 pairs of native sperm counting values (documented in 50 double-witnessed semen analysis) will be automatically checked based on a predefined set of statistical rules. If the assessment does not give a satisfactory result, the Double witnessing function will be blocked for further use and can only be unlocked by an authorized employee. The results of all automatic tests including the individual values of 50 sperm counting values can be reviewed over the menu "Reports->Double witnessing administration. In this module it is also possible to unlock the Double witnessing functionality, once when it was blocked by the system. The new staff function "Activate Double witnessing functionality" in "SystemSettingsStaffEdit Staff", determines whether the employee is authorized to unlock the Double witnessing function.

16.) MedITEX Scheduler a. Automatic proposal of appointments:

An automatic generation of proposed appointments is now possible (e.g. for aspiration, insemination, transfer etc.). If the appropriate rules have been defined and activated in system settings of MedITEX IVF (see also point 11), the corresponding event will automatically generate a proposed appointment in the scheduler, if the date is not in the past. All proposed appointments can be reviewed in MedITEX Scheduler under MenuAppointments Proposed appointments.

By double clicking on a cell (or by clicking the button "Take over appointment"), the appointment input mask will be opened with the proposed data - patient, treatment, appointment start already filled out, if no active appointment already exists. User can now edit the appointment data and save it, thus creating an active and real appointment. The corresponding proposed appointment will automatically be transferred to the tab-sheet History, with the information about the start of the generated appointment. By double-clicking the line with the proposed appointment to which an active appointment already exists (e.g. has already been generated), the real appointment will be opened. If the triggering event in MedITEX IVF has changed in time, the corresponding appointment will be automatically transferred back to the tab-sheet "Proposed appointments, and marked in red (only if the corresponding real appointment lies still in the future). In this way the user can immediately react if something changes in the planning.

b. Patient location: The virtual waiting room has been expanded and converted into the patient locator. In the column "Room" it is now possible to select a room where the patient is presently located. In the column "Since [hh:mm]" the time is displayed, since when the person is in that room. As before it is possible to drag the whole appointment and drop it in the patient location area. The Waiting room 1 will be automatically entered in the location column, and the appointment status will be set to Patient is in waiting room.

The status of the appointment can be edited via the context menu that appears on right-clicking the appointment, or via the context menu in the patient location area. In the details window "Patients location, which can be invoked over the link in the upper left corner of the main window, it is possible to see more details about the actual location and appointment of each patient currently present in the clinic. Here it is also possible to filter the data by a particular calendar, so that only the appointments related to that calendar are displayed.
Page 9 of 22

The rooms can be defined in the program settings (Menu: SystemSettings) as a calendar with the group type Room. Additionally it is possible in general settings to specify the total number of all waiting rooms.

Bugs fixed

Version 1.2.1.7
Features
1.) Report Editor: a. All QM fields inserted and used in any of the areas of the program are now offered in appropriate tables of the Report Editor individually, and can therefore be evaluated and used for generating reports and letters just the same as fixed fields.

b. Laboratory values can now be analysed statistically: Text fields in Report Editor can now be evaluated as numbers, if the appropriate conversion has been selected in the filter window, for example Display as number, or Display as
Page 11 of 22

floating-point number. In this way it is now possible to create statistical reports (MIN/MAX/AVG) on all values that have been stored as text.

c. In the Table Persons there are several new calculated fields offered: - Gravida and Para, - Height and Weight, and - Number of internally documented aspiration cycles and reproductive pre-treatments from the most recent medical history". d. In the Table Transfer the following calculated fields have been offered: - Day of transfer (culture day when the transfer occurred), and - Number of transferred Embryos. e. In the table Therapy it is now possible to evaluate if the children have been born, using the new field Date of birth of the first born child. In this way it is not necessary to add the table Children to the query, and in the result there will be no doubled lines because of more children. 2.) New feature Signatures: create and use personal hand-signatures in letters and reports. For each employee it is now possible to add a personal signature in System Preferences -> Staff, either directly from a scanner, or from a previously saved image. These signatures can than be used for letter templates, by adding the appropriate placeholder from the selection of additional placeholders to the letter template in Word Module. It can either be a signature of a specific person or a general signature placeholder, for a signature of a person that should be selected from the list of possible signature-holders on generating the specific letter. The use of signature feature can also be protected by a personal password, so that only the entitled employees can create signed letters. 3.) The QM Free Fields have been extended to 100 characters.

1.) Polar body diagnosis: a. Based on the selection of the probes, the corresponding chromosomes in the fields "PB1" and "PB2" will be automatically filled as a group and the ploidy set to "n.a.". b. When taking over the PBD data of another oocyte the fields PB1 and PB2 will be filled according to the probes of another oocyte with n.a.. 2.) Culture: a. The field immature for the aspirated oocytes has been renamed to GV. b. A new field for the aspirated oocytes: MI. 3.) Search for patients mask in the main window: with the buttons previous and next it is now possible to browse through previously opened patients. The drop-down list of patients now shows all previously opened patients if the patient search field is filled; if the patient search field is empty, the drop-down list will contain all the patients in the database. 4.) Report editor: a. A new condition in condition window: in/before n DAYS is now offered. b. Conditions of a query are shown also in the Charts. c. New field in Therapies -> Transfer: Sum of all transferred cells. d. New fields in therapy: i. Sum of all transferred cells ii. Cumulative dosage FSH [IU] iii. Cumulative dosage LH [IU] iv. Cumulative dosage hMG [IU] v. Cumulative dosage l.a.FSH [g] vi. Stimulation duration [Days] 5.) A new feature enables the user to influence the result of a query by setting all data or intersection, as the mode of connecting the tables. If you select tables patients and therapies, and link them together, you can influence the result in the following way:

a. All All patients, including those who have no therapies documented. b. Intersection - Only the patients that also have therapies. 6.) System settings: QM fields can now be removed from the QM area allocation, without influencing the already used fields. 7.) A new item Subsidy is now offered for patients billing category. 8.) BMI was constrained to one decimal place. 9.) It is now possible to associate a medical history with a therapy directly from the main window.

Version 1.1.0.93
Features

1.) The automatic sorting of oocytes and embryos based on quality in graphical representation of cell culture can be switched off in program settings. In that case the cells will be sorted based on their IDs. 2.) Therapy planning: Incompletely documented drugs will be coloured red. Before generating the therapy out of the planned one, a message requiring the completion of missing drug data will be issued. 3.) New fields in Follicle Aspiration and Transfer views: Attending physician. 4.) It is now possible to automatically create the patient ID on creating new patient record. The rule for the patient ID generation can be found in Settings -> System -> Miscellaneous 5.) The lists of previous illnesses and infertility factors in medical history can now be freely edited and extended in Settings -> System tables -> Edit system tables 6.) New feature in spermiogram view: Double Witnessing. This function is the part of quality management procedures for laboratory analysis according to the Directive of the Federal medical association of Germany for Quality assurance of quantitative lab examinations. Double Witnessing can be activated in Settings -> System -> Miscellaneous. 7.) New feature in QM/Free fields view: Voice recording. With this function you can record voice messages in almost each area of MedITEX IVF, and check them later in Reports -> Voice messages. 8.) New feature in the therapy/treatment view: a printable Treatment sheet. With a click of a button it is now possible to produce a printable sheet with all relevant treatment data: important events, medication, hormone levels and ultrasound data. It can be produced either from the therapy planner, as a memo for the patient for planned treatment steps, as well as after the treatment with all collected data. 9.) New feature in all views: Screenshot / note block. In the title of all program views there is now a camera symbol. By clicking on this symbol a screenshot of the actual view will be produced and inserted in the notepad document. This document can be freely edited and extended with further screenshots. The notepad can also be started by right-clicking on the MedITEX IVF in Windows system area (lower right corner of the screen, left from the clock). 10.) Female and male medical histories were extended with many new fields. 11.) In Follicle Aspiration and Transfer view it is now possible to document the attending physician.

12.) When cryo conserving, if user defined straw ID was already used for another straw the system will issue a warning. 13.) Program performance and responsiveness was generally improved in all areas. 14.) A new function in the view Culture day / Development stage offers the possibility to browse through the oocytes and development days without having to close the culture day window. It is also possible to open the culture day view in culture by pressing the enter key. 15.) In the culture graphic view the relative oocyte number is now also shown. 16.) It is now possible to edit lab parameters. In Settings -> System -> System tables you can individually edit the parameter data, as well as create new parameters. 17.) It is now possible to add new staff member without having to define username and password. In this way you can quickly define new staff members that can be selected in the program, but cannot log in themselves (e.g. anaesthesiologists). 18.) A new drug was included: Elonva, a long-acting rec FSH for stimulation of the ovaries. 19.) If the straw was frozen directly out of the spermiogram view, the cryo-icon (snowflake) will be painted blue to signalize the existing of the cryo data. 20.) In order to offer the newest MS Office functions and features for creating reports and letters in our system, we continuously update our software. Therefore we can guarantee for the compatibility of our software system with MS Office 2003 and latter. Thank you for your understanding.

Bugs fixed

1.) If a patient is deleted from the system, all linked straws in the cryo storage will also be deleted. 2.) The performance of letter creation in the report editor improved. 3.) The warning in the transfer view was adjusted in the following way: Date of transfer is greater than date D0 (follicle aspiration resp. cryo thawing) plus 10 days. 4.) Report editor: 1. The term QM function was corrected in QM Description, for better understanding. 2. Duplicate data is not shown in the query result anymore. 5.) The patient height is also shown in the header of the Lab diagnosis area. 6.) MedITEX IVF OCTAX interface: 1. It is now possible to import oocyte pictures from OCTAX even if the corresponding oocyte does not yet exist in MedITEX IVF. During the import the oocyte will automatically be created in the appropriate culture day in the culture graphical view. 2. The pictures from OCTAX can be assigned to all oocyte stages. 7.) Refresh problem during the patient change in the pregnancy view is corrected. 8.) Instead of the partner data in the title of cryo storage administration, the patient data is shown. 9.) For an embryo transfer that was not carried out: if the reason is not stated, the plausibility message of the system will be issued. 10.) Corrected: refresh problem with the selection of a reason for embryo transfer that was not carried out.
