LTS-BMC 60/80/90 Automatic Blood Culture System/blood infection detection

BMC60/80/90 Blood Culture System

Application:

Applicable to blood infection detection

Principles:

Blood culture bottles with blood sample inside are incubated in the blood culture system at 35℃. The growth of microorganism produces carbon dioxide which leads to color change of sensor in bottom of culture bottles. An optical sensor continuously monitor color change and a monitoring system judge “Negatives” and “Positives” results. Results will be shown in different color on touchable LCD screen.

Features:

Intelligent

• Continuous swinging vibration optimizes detection ratio.
• LIS(Laboratory Information System)connectivity. Easy for results storage and printing.
• LCD touch screen. Easy for manual operation.
• Bottles can be taken out and inserted for checking. Automatic alarm for misplaced bottles to avoid possible mistakes.
• Accommodates 60(LTS-BMC60)/80(LTS-BMC80)/90(LTS-BMC90) bottles. Up to 5 LTS-BMC90/80 System instruments can be networked together.

Sensitive

• Colorimetry and carbon dioxide sensor.
• Advanced algorithms are applied for testing results detection. The color change procedure and the growth of microorganism will be depicted automatically and reflected on the growth curve.
• Continuous monitoring every 10 minutes allows for fully-automated and walk-away testing. 24-hour real-time monitoring conserves time for the laboratory staff.
• Integrated sound, light, color alarm applied for earlier detection of “Positives”.

Safe

• Shatterproof polymeric fiber bottle guarantees the safety of laboratory staff.
• Quick barcode scanning for ease-of-use of laboratory staff.

Method

1. Minimum 10ml blood is taken through venipuncture and sucked up naturally by negative pressure in blood culture bottle.

2. Collect blood with aseptic technique. Both culture bottles tops and puncture site require to be sterilized by 70% isopropyl alcohol.

Recommendation for 6 bottles:

U.S.A Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommend 6 blood culture bottles for each person in blood culture tests. Accuracy percentage can be promoted from 73.2% by 1 pair bottle to 96.9% by 3 pairs bottle.
