More flexibility: ADVANCED EXPERT SYSTEM & BIOART
The ADVANCED EXPERT SYSTEM , can boost your confidence further by automatically providing validation of every susceptibility test result, to help clinicians select the most appropriate antibiotic treatment. The Advanced Expert System™ signals when results are ready, saving time, and gives you an accurate phenotype profile of the bacterial resistance menchanism(s) for each isolate tested, using color-coded indicators.bioMérieux’s Advanced Reporting Tool (BIOART) also enhances your reporting with customization and maximum efficiency, by automatically transfering results, offering alerts for critical results and improving standardization.
