Media Window:
Media configuration is used to set default protocol values for each medium type you will be using
for culture testing. The default protocol value is entered automatically when that medium type is
scanned during the Vial Entry operation. If no medium type is entered for a vial (e.g., an
anonymous vial or replacement barcode), the default instrument protocol of 5 days is used.
To modify default media values, refer to the field requirements listed below. When changes are
complete, select Save.
Media
To select a medium type, select the Down Arrow button to the right of the field. You can
choose from the following medium selections:
Protocol (days)
Select the Up or Down Arrow to increase or decrease the value in the field. Available protocol
lengths are shown in the table above. Each laboratory should set its protocol lengths based on
its own policies and conditions.
In a BD EpiCenter configuration, selecting a protocol at one instrument selects that protocol for
all instruments.
