learning Microbiological Systems

Microbiological systems for laboratory purposes are used for continuous monitoring of blood cultures. Blood culturing is done to detect bloodstream infections due to bacteria and yeast. These new systems used for blood culturing offer higher recovery rate with superior functionality, safety, usability, reliability and service. Thus, they enhance clinical workflow and patient care. Becton Dickinson (BD) is one of the leading manufacturers in this field.

Recent Monitoring Technologies with Safety Features

These systems employ fluorescent sensor technology which permits fully automated walk-away testing. The sensor technology uses a continuous monitoring instrument that agitates and incubates blood culture bottles to detect pathogens in the blood. Another noticeable feature is that they render advanced algorithms for individual bottles, to detect slow growing organisms, and in special cases such as pediatric specimens and low blood volume. These algorithms provide quick identification of pathogens in the blood. Advanced features in microbiological systems are:

• Data management systems with barcode scanning capabilities provide fast entry of bottles into instrument, and connection to patient information.

• Bi-directional LIS interface reduces work and making time-to-results better.

• Scanning of the barcode test menu ensures step-by-step directions for test initiation, and bottle processing.

• Patient's data can be entered into the system using barcode scanner or keyboard, or downloaded from LIS system.

• Blood is tested quickly and negative result is sent for further processing.

• Instant bottle and instrument status recognition.

• Maximum capacity with minimum footprint.

• Blood culturing at the bench for reduced work interruption.

• Multiple point data access on each instrument.

To ensure enhanced safety, these systems use non-invasive technology which means reduced sharps dangers, and no hazardous aerosols.
