Monash IVF has promised to make changes after admitting to a second embryo-related incident this year.
In a notice posted to the ASX, the fertility giant said the incident took place on June 5 at its Clayton clinic in Melbourne.
It involved a patient’s own embryo being “incorrectly transferred” back to them, instead of an embryo from their partner.
“Monash IVF has extended its sincere apologies to the affected couple, and we continue to support them,” the statement, authorised by the board of directors, read.
It attributed that incident to “human error”.
