Conventional failure models emphasize catastrophic vacuum loss; however, field observations suggest that many Dewars exhibit transient or progressive thermal anomalies prior to permanent failure.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective observational study was conducted using longitudinal liquid nitrogen (LN<sub>2</sub>) temperature telemetry data acquired from static IVF cryostorage units operating under continuous clinical conditions. Existing temperature data were evaluated to identify transient deviations, recovery behavior, event frequency, and long-term baseline drift. These features were integrated into a composite Dewar Health Index (DHI) designed to characterize insulation performance and degradation risk over time without direct measurement of vacuum pressure. In parallel, the normal evaporation rate, the steady-state rate of LN<sub>2</sub> evaporative loss derived from continuous level telemetry, was evaluated as an independent, energy-based measure of heat leak into the cryogenic system.
