You are able to thaw the semen sample from the Andrology tab by clicking on the open box sample. 

The sample will open and you are able to enter a thaw date and any notes associated with the sample. Once you have entered the necessary information select save to save your data.  

Use this same method to edit the sample and add any additional notes. 

The thaw date will display in the cryo log under disposition to display that this sample has been thawed. 

Thawing a sample from the Cryo Log 

To thaw a sample from the semen cryo log search for the patient name (last name first) select the sample you wish to thaw by clicking on the name of the sample. Once you select the sample a pop-up window will appear.

 Here you will enter the thaw date and change the information from cryo to thaw. Also, add any notes that are needed. Once all information is completed, select commit to save your work. 

The thawed sample will still live in the cryo log but now it will have a thaw date and new disposition. 

This information will also reflect in the Andrology tab within the patients' cycle.
