At a glance
Record the laboratory’s risk definitions, validation scope, outcome-data context and answers needed before consent.
Biopsy can damage an embryo: HFEA PGT-A patient information, UK regulator; checked 15 October 2026. This source does not supply a universal Thai clinic damage percentage.
Use this record for this specific task
Ask the laboratory to define what it counts as damage or failure before accepting a risk figure. Separate biopsy, freezing, warming and repeat-biopsy records where data are available. Record the data period and sample group so a clinician can explain applicability. Leave any consent question unresolved until the appropriate professional has explained the relevant alternatives and limitations.
PGT laboratory risk discussion: a consent-question checklist. Use this blank worksheet to organise an enquiry and record answers from the responsible provider. It is not a completed customer case, actual quotation, clinical plan or confirmation that a service is available.
Before completing the worksheet
Use a separate copy for each provider or appointment. Record who supplied each answer and its date. Keep your own priorities separate from the provider’s written confirmation. A blank field means an answer is missing; it does not mean a service is free, included, appropriate or permitted.
