Clinical Validation of BACTEC™ Plus Aerobic/F Culture Vials Compared With Equivalent Product
Clinical Validation of BACTEC™ Plus Aerobic/F Culture Vials Compared With Equivalent Product
This study is a multi-center, randomized clinical validation. Subjects should be fully informed of this protocol and related risks, and can only be enrolled into this study after signing the informed consent form. Blood collection of the subjects at the same puncture point at a single site will be injected into the test vial and the control vial respectively, and the vials will be transferred to the BACTEC system for culture and the results will be observed. After the BACTEC system incubation completion, the vials will be subcultured. Strains grown on plates will be identified using appropriate methods and, if possible, at the species level.
Inclusion Criteria:
Subject is willing to provide written informed consent to sponsor.
