Drive standardization
Standardized images enable consistent, accurate and reproducible results for interpretation. In addition, the BD Kiestra™ UCA is designed to reduce inter-reader variability with automatic growth semi-quantification algorithms.
Improve workflow efficiency
Help improve workflow efficiency with automated no growth or non-significant growth reporting supported by expert rules. Leverage colony color detection to assist readers with interpretation of BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ orientation plates.
Reduce hands on time
Batch release cultures with no or non-significant growth from catheterized and clean caught urine samples with minimal human intervention and in real time. Batch release may help to eliminate reporting delays and enable staff to focus on more complex tasks.
Workflow management
BD Synapsys™ informatics solution enables laboratories to address workflow challenges, including streamlining culture reading processes for timely reporting of critical results while managing workload to improve operational effectiveness.
Semi-Quantification
Customizable expert rules in the UCA utilizing 5 growth quantification (CFU/ml) buckets for laboratory designed work lists
Batch reporting
Batch report urine samples with no or non-significant growth based on user-defined growth thresholds
Expert rules
Rules can be created using patient demographics or test results to drive consistent workflow for the user
Rolling bead technology
The BD Kiestra™ InoqulA uses magnetic rolling-bead technology to generate more discrete colonies compared to loop based streaking methods.** It also features a calibrated pipette for an accurate and standardized inoculation volume
