BD EpiCenter™ Microbiology Data Management System
The BD EpiCenter™ Microbiology Data Management System provides advanced data management for BD microbiology systems, including the BD BACTEC™ FX Blood Culture System, BD BACTEC™ MGIT™ Automated Mycobacterial Detection System, BD Phoenix™ Automated Identification and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing System and BD™ Bruker MALDI Biotyper® CA System.
It integrates multiple platforms, helps facilitate improved workflows, analyzes data, and generates reports, including those used for epidemiological tracking.

Fully traceable, streamlined workflow

Monitoring, analyzing and communicating microbiology data in a timely manner can directly impact patient care. However, obtaining, organizing and communicating this information is labor intensive.

The combination of BD informatics with the BD instruments empowers
you to:

  • Identify bottlenecks and sources of errors across many diagnostic pathways, including bloodstream infections
  • Increase confidence in your blood culture results
  • Automate specimen traceability and data analytics across your network of labs and collection sites
  • Impact key metrics such as turnaround time
  • Receive custom alerts for critical results (e.g., CPO, VRSA, ESBL) to help support infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship initiatives
