The BACTEC FX-40 is designed for detecting and monitoring the growth of bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms in blood samples. This system helps in diagnosing infections by providing timely and accurate results.
- Advanced Detection Technology: Utilizes fluorescent sensor technology to detect the production of carbon dioxide (CO₂) by growing microorganisms, which is indicative of microbial growth.
- High Capacity: Capable of processing multiple blood culture bottles simultaneously, making it suitable for busy laboratories.
- User-Friendly Interface: Equipped with an intuitive touchscreen interface for easy operation and monitoring.
- Automated Monitoring: Provides continuous and automatic monitoring of culture bottles, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving turnaround times.
- Data Management: Integrated with data management capabilities to track results and facilitate reporting. This may include connectivity options for integrating with laboratory information systems (LIS).
- Sample Processing: Blood samples are inoculated into culture bottles and placed into the BACTEC FX-40. The machine then continuously monitors the bottles for signs of microbial growth.
- Growth Detection: The system detects microbial growth based on changes in CO₂ levels within the culture bottles, providing real-time results.
- Early Detection: Enables early detection of infections by identifying microbial growth sooner than traditional methods.
- Enhanced Sensitivity: The fluorescent sensor technology improves sensitivity and accuracy in detecting microorganisms.
- Efficient Workflow: Automates the monitoring process, which enhances laboratory efficiency and reduces manual labour.
