BacT/ALERT 3D Control Monitor Unloading Process

Study Notes

To unload bottles from the BacT/ALERT 3D control monitor, press the Unload Negative Bottles button; the green light on the drawer containing the negative bottles is enabled as well as the green light next to the cell(s).
Open the indicated drawer to remove a bottle from a cell with a green indicator light. If you remove a bottle from an unlit cell, refer to the troubleshooting instructions. Remove one bottle at a time.
Confirm the bottle information on the screen matches the bottle information on the bottle, and handle the bottle as follows: if the information matches, the bottle is valid and can be taken to a workstation with access to Myla; if the information does not match, see troubleshooting.
After unloading all negative bottles, close any open drawers and press the Check [√] button. Log out of the BacT/ALERT 3D control monitor.
Sort the bottles, grouping them by DIN/lot or sample ID.
Log in to Myla using your username and password.
Select the Search Icon.
Search under Patient tab. Enter DIN/lot# in Patient ID field.
Select specimens (bottles).
Select Print and select all selected.
Confirm that the bottle IDs on the bottles match the bottle IDs in Myla.
Save PDFs.
Email PDFs of clinical or research samples to cord blood records group. Print other reports as needed, attach with applicable paperwork (ie BacT/ALERT Culture Bottle Lot Qualification form, Proficiency Testing paperwork, etc).
Verify that a Report was saved for each DIN/sample unloaded, and then discard the negative bottles in a biohazardous waste container.
