FAQ

Does the BACTEROMIC technology provide identification?

The BACTEROMIC system specializes in antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

How should identification be handled?

Identification should be performed in accordance with the guidelines of a given laboratory and entered into the BACTEROMIC system before generating the result.

What is the results time?

The BACTEROMIC system delivers results within 12-16 hours from the moment the panel is read by the analyzer in accordance with its specifications.

What does the BACTEROMIC system include?

The BACTEROMIC system consists of an analyzer, a filling device, and a panel.

Does the BACTEROMIC system maintain a detailed list of Gram-positive (+) and Gram-negative (–) strains?

The BACTEROMIC’s analyzer has pre-loaded lists of Gram-positive (+) and Gram-negative (-) bacterial species that are currently available for testing.

What is the range of antibiotic concentrations and resistance mechanisms detected by the panel?

The antibiotic concentration ranges for the BACTEROMIC PANEL UNI are 8-14 two-fold dilutions. Additionally, the panel detects ESBL resistance mechanism.

How is the single panel managed? Is it required the strain ID to define which antibiotics to use?

Strain identification and selection of appropriate antibiotics are not required before initiating the test. However, identification should be performed in accordance with the guidelines of the respective laboratory and must be entered into the BACTEROMIC system before results generation.

Can the BACTEROMIC equipment and/or software be integrated with a facility’s information system?

Yes, the BACTEROMIC system is capable of connecting to a facility’s IT systems.

How are statistical and/or epidemiological reports obtained?

Statistical and epidemiological data are sourced from reports by supervisory units, EUCAST and CLSI guidelines, and professional literature.

Do you offer Mueller Hinton II Broth with the system? If not, are there any special requirements?

Currently we do not offer Mueller Hinton II Broth. We provide a list of tested substrates with the product.

Is it possible to perform the test from the sample taken directly from the patient?

The test can be prepared from an isolated bacterial monoculture.

Do you meet EUCAST and/or CLSI requirements?

The BACTEROMIC system complies with EUCAST/CLSI requirements.

How often is the panel updated?

The system is updated in accordance with the guidelines.

What are the panel storing conditions?

The panel should be stored at temperatures between 2-8 °C.

Do you provide post market service?
