Advanced Expert^TM System

Assured confidence

Emerging and low-level microbial resistance makes expert systems essential. They bring various levels of security, validation and in-depth analysis to accurately predict the clinical outcome of therapy. The Advanced Expert System uses a global knowledge base constructed from published articles and bioMérieux research to perform a three-step action:

• Biological validation of the quality of results from a technical perspective
• Result interpretation to facilitate correction for improved clinical outcomes
• Systematic addition of recommendations that the laboratory can communicate to clinicians

Coupled with VITEK 2 antimicrobial susceptibility test results, the Advanced Expert System's interpretation delivers confidence. Features include:

• On average, five to seven MIC doubling dilutions per antibiotic
• Extended MIC range, enabling low-level resistance detection
• Resistance-oriented results that highlight unusual phenotypes
• Deduced antibiotic results to meet formulary requirements
• Checking of every result every time
• >100,000-reference database
• >2,000 referenced phenotypes
• >20,000 MIC distributions
• >100 resistance mechanisms detected
