5.4.4 Culture Summary
The Culture Summary report lists total counts for contaminant, positive, and negative cultures, as well
as percent of total cultures for each of these counts.
To qualify for inclusion, cultures must have a state of Removed (all vials related by accession number
must be removed from the instrument), be within the selected date and time range, and have a final
status of positive, manual positive, negative, manual negative, or be ongoing and removed from the
instrument.
A culture is considered a contaminant, positive, or negative based on the following criteria:
Contaminant – when all of the positive/manual positive vials within the accession are marked as
contaminant.
Positive – if the accession contains at least one positive or manual positive vial that is not marked
as a contaminant.
Negative – when all the vials in the accession are either negative, manual negative, or ongoing/
removed from the instrument.
The report provides the following information:
