Our lab uses the automatic no growth function also. The patients automatically flow to the blood culture worksheet and update day by day, until the fifth and final day, at which point in time the computer autofinalizes "No growth 5 days". Whenever a positive culture is detected, it is called as a critical value and manually updated in Meditech.

We had tried the interface and didn't like it's capabilities. We have a default answer at 24 hrs and one at 5 days, I think.......

We use the same BACTEC 9240 interfaced with Meditech and only Patient Demographics cross. Our Meditech is set up, however, to default "No Growth" everyday at noon unless we interrupt the default with a positive gram stain result. Then the default result is halted and the process for positive BC results is followed with manual entry of results. After so many days of "No Growth" results, the final "No Growth" is reported.

We're being told by someone from BD that Meditech handles only demographics, not results. That is totally illogical to us!!
