Success Rates Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee (RTAC) All Reproductive Medicine Units in Australia and New Zealand are reviewed regularly by the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee (RTAC) of the Fertility Society of Australia. This body ensures that a high standard of clinical management is maintained in all Units. As part of this process, RTAC requires reporting of pregnancy rates from a standard reference group of patients. The RTAC pregnancy rate is designed to assess each Units results in the most favourable group of patients. This group includes those couples having their first or second cycle of treatment with IVF or ICSI, where the female partner is less than 38 years of age and where treatment results in egg retrieval or an embryo transfer. In this group, pregnancy is defined as the presence of a fetal heartbeat on an ultrasound, usually done after about 7 weeks of pregnancy. This is not the same as the rate of live births or the take home baby rate because, sadly, some pregnancies after 7 weeks still end in miscarriage or stillbirth.
