The BD BACTEC™ FX builds on the proven superior fluorescence detection technology, exceptional media performance and instrument reliability of the BD BACTEC™ 9000 blood culture systems. This is now combined with:

Capacity: 200 locations.
Large touch screen is more convenient for user.
Modular design to connect four machines together to increase the capacity of 160 locations.
Ability to monitor the blood volume in the bottle when integrated more software to help monitor the sampling process.
Indicates three color LEDs for positive, negative, and warning when errors occur.
Able to connect LIS and connect directly to the printer

BD BACTEC MEDIA AND CONSUMABLES

BD BACTEC™ PLUS - Aerobic/F Medium
BD BACTEC™ PLUS – Aerobic/F Medium (enriched soybean-casein digest broth with CO2) is used for the culture and recovery of aerobic microorganisms from blood specimens. Optimal results are obtained when 10 ml of blood is used. The vials contain resin for neutralisation of antimicrobials, thus increasing the recovery of microorganisms from patients under antibiotic treatment.

BD BACTEC™ PLUS - Anaerobic/F Medium
BD BACTEC™ PLUS – Anaerobic/F Medium Culture Vials (pre-reduced enriched Soybean-Casein Digest broth with CO2) are used for the culture and recovery of anaerobic microorganisms (bacteria and yeasts) from blood specimens. This medium has been designed to allow the addition of 10 ml of blood. The addition of these larger volumes results in overall higher detection rates and earlier times to detection. The vials contain resin for neutralisation of antimicrobials, thus increasing the recovery of microorganisms from patients under antibiotic treatment.

BD BACTEC™ - BD Peds Plus™ Medium
BD BACTEC™ – BD Peds Plus™ Medium Culture Vials (enriched Soybean- Casein Digest broth with CO2) are used for the culture and recovery of aerobic microorganisms (mainly bacteria and fungi) from paediatric and other blood specimens which are generally less than 3 ml in volume. The vials contain resin for neutralisation of antimicrobials, thus increasing the recovery of microorganisms from patients under antibiotic treatment.

BD BACTEC™ - Mycosis IC/F Medium Culture Vials
BD BACTEC™ – Mycosis IC/F Medium Culture Vials are used for the selective culture and recovery of fungi and yeasts from blood. The medium contains tobramycin and chloramphenicol in order to suppress bacterial growth and saponin in order to release phagocytosed fungi and yeasts from leukocytes. Time to detection of fungi and yeasts is greatly reduced compared to non-selective blood culture media. Acceptable blood volumes range from 8-10 ml. The vials are specially designed for immunosuppressed, neutropenic patients.

BD BACTEC™ PLUS - Aerobic/F Medium in Plastic Vials
BD BACTEC™ PLUS – Aerobic/F Medium (enriched soybean-casein digest broth with CO2) is used for the culture and recovery of aerobic microorganisms from blood specimens with enhanced recovery. Optimal results are obtained when 10 ml of blood is used. The vials contain resin for neutralisation of antimicrobials, thus increasing the recovery of microorganisms from patients under antibiotic treatment.

BD BACTEC™ - BD FOS™ Culture Supplement Kit
BD BACTEC™ FOS™ (Fastidious Organism Supplement) Culture Supplement Kit. Recommended for sterile body fluids other than blood, particularly for CSF specimens. BD FOS™ is provided in a lyophilised form along with a special BD BACTEC™ FOS™ Reconstituting Fluid (BD FOS™ RF) for use with BD BACTEC™ media to enhance the growth of fastidious organisms, such as Haemophilus spp. and Neisseria spp. 1 set is sufficient to inoculate 20 – 24 blood culture vials.
