A practitioner meeting the criteria mentioned in articles R. 2142-10 and R. 2142-11 practising within the centre mentioned in the first paragraph of article R. 2141-3 will enquire about the personal and family history of the two members of the couple or of the unmarried woman at the origin of the conception of the embryos and the clinical data that he/she deems necessary to collect. If necessary, he will arrange for any additional examinations that he deems useful.
The practitioner carries out medical biology tests on the members of the couple or on the unmarried woman in order to identify the risk of transmission of infectious pathologies, the nature of which is specified by the decrees provided for in articles R. 2142-24 and R. 2142-27. These orders determine the conditions for carrying out and renewing these tests. Embryos may not be accepted if these tests cannot be carried out on either member of the couple or on the unmarried woman.
Where the embryo conceived is the result of a gamete donation, the practitioner shall ensure that the health safety rules set out in articles R. 1211-25 to R. 1211-28 are complied with.
The practitioner mentioned in the first paragraph ensures that the results of the medical biology tests carried out on the two members of the couple or the unmarried woman who conceived the embryos do not reveal a risk of viral or bacterial transmission responsible for one of the infectious diseases mentioned in the decrees mentioned in the second paragraph.
Where a risk of transmission is identified, the embryo may not be transferred with a view to its reception.
