title: [Improvement of results and optimization of quality control].
abstract: Indispensable to developing the results obtained in an ART center, quality control concerns the material and techniques used as well as the laboratory environment. These control measures should not omit the personnel involved (technicians, biologists, and physicians), from the quality of their training to their personal involvement in the IVF/ICSI process. A control model was therefore developed at Antoine Béclère Hospital, taking into account successive series of patients undergoing the same treatment conditions and interseries periods: a preanalysis phase studying the preceding series'management and a postanalysis phase examining the clinical and biological results obtained, aiming at optimal reactivity.
