Coda^® the only proven safe air purification technology for IVF.

Indoor air can contain pollutant concentrations 8 to 10 times greater than outdoor air (See Ott & Roberts, Scientific American, 86-91, February, 1998). Particulates, toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other chemical air contaminants (CACs) in your laboratories, work areas, working surfaces, incubators, and environmental chambers can affect embryo development (Cohen et al., Hum Reprod 12, 1742-9, 1997).

The Coda Tower^®, Coda^® Lo-Boy and Coda^® Aero, filter the air in your laboratories, procedure rooms and working areas.

Coda^® air purification technology is a safety device that has been proven to improve air quality in your laboratories and in your incubators, and may result in improved embryo and cell development.

Coda^® filters are manufactured in an ISO13485:2003 certified cleanroom. All materials are inspected, tested and qualified for safe use in human IVF.

The Coda^® System has proven to be beneficial and successful in over 500 clinics worldwide. These products continually decontaminate from the inside-out. GMP compliant and FDA 510(k) cleared. Patented.

History of Coda^® Technology
The interest in the possible effects of air quality on IVF began with the observations of decreases in in-vitro embryo development and pregnancy rates associated with the move of an IVF lab from suburban Naples, Italy to the downtown area (1992), and associated with construction around another IVF lab in New Jersey in 1995. Some environmental effects from other events involving construction in neighbouring spaces and the use of toxic materials in lab spaces preceeded these periods. Significant concentrations of volatile organic contaminants (VOC) were measured in the laboratory air, and in the compressed CO₂ used for the incubators (Cohen et al. Hum Reprod 12: 1742-9, 1997). Based on these observations, Coda^® incubator units were designed for use inside the incubators, Coda^® Inline^TM filters for the CO₂ supply, and Coda Tower^® for purifying the air in the IVF laboratory itself.   <more>

HEPA is not Enough

Many of the gases found in IVF labs such as benzene, acetone, ethanol, and formaldehyde are 100 to 1000 times smaller than the pore size of a HEPA filter.

	Do not use other Commercial filters in your IVF lab. You may introduce more contaminants if filters are not manufactured in a clean room and not FDA approved. Do not use UV light filtration units. Recent studies have shown that the use of UV Light in any commercial filtration product creates Ozone within your environment which can be very harmful to embryo development or to any other specimens.
