System Overview
Efficient Bloodstream Infections (BSI) Diagnosis with BACT/ALERT® 3D Automated Microbial Detection System
The BACT/ALERT® 3D brings you automated microbial detection systems with advantages in every dimension of blood culture testing from safety and design to recovery and accuracy. This system combined with the BACT/ALERT media, provide high performance detection and recovery of a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and mycobacteria. BACT/ALERT® 3D offers all of this in a single platform that is compact, modular, flexible and affordable.
As labs face the challenges of higher volumes, demand for reduced turnaround and the need to manage staff resources effectively, it is critical that the system is scalable and efficient. BACT/ALERT® 3D instrument’s workflow helps you meet all those challenges with its easy-to-use and intuitive handling, while also reducing the risk of errors.
Scalability
- Adaptable to your routine blood culture needs
- Expandable design enables extra testing capacity and saves space
- Same footprint as other small platforms with 2-3 times the bottle capacity
- Designed to fit any laboratory layout
Efficiency
- Combine with BACT/ALERT(r) media, it can manage blood and sterile body fluids
- Easy handling for less training and labor needs
- Touchscreen interface and simple workflow procedure
- Detect a wide range of bacteria and yeast
- Low user maintenance and bioMérieux support and training
REAL-TIME Detection
- Unique growth detection sensor integrated at the bottom of each bottle
- Colorimetric allows for earlier detection and immediate action
- Delayed vial entry time performance validation and algorithm
- Positive bottle alerts for immediate intervention
- Comprehensive Blood Culture process
- Full connectivity with MAESTRIATM software including remote notification and easy-to-generate customizable reports such as negative, positive ad loaded bottles full data report, contaminants rate report (with alrgorithm), time to positivity, time to load and unload.

Blood Culture Media
The BACT/ALERT® 3D system uses media specifically designed for blood, sterile body fluids and platelets, as well as specialized media for detection of mycobacteria. Unique colorimetric technology that visibly hanges the color of the growth detection sensor at the bottom of each culture bottle outshines other technology by reducing false negatives due to delayed bottle entry. Triple-layer bottle design ensures an appropriate environment for reliable recovery of microorganisms.
- Safety and efficiency are ensured with plastic blood culture bottles, pioneered by bioMérieux
- Shatter-resistant bottles reduce biohazard exposure risk
- Light-weight bottles offer cost-effective shipping and disposal - without compromising results
