responds to requests from the LIS for results (solicitations). If the system is configured for
unsolicited processing, the LIS must always be ready to receive data from the
BD BACTEC™ FX40 system.
Vial Tracking checkbox
This checkbox appears only if the LIS Solicited Results checkbox is unchecked (disabled).
Tap the checkbox so that a check appears in it to enable Vial Tracking. Vial Tracking uploads
the following status information for non-orphan vials in the system:
• New vials that are entered or identified at the instrument
• Removal of positives, negatives, and related vials
• Pulled positives that are reentered
• Vials that are relocated to a different station
The information is uploaded from the time the vial is entered into the instrument until it is
removed as a positive or final negative. In order to enable Vial Tracking, communications must
be set for unsolicited processing. The default value is unchecked.
If Vial Tracking is disabled, only the final result is uploaded.
Log Comms checkbox
The Log Comms function is designed to assist BD representatives in troubleshooting LIS
communications problems. It enables the representative to record low-level communication
messages in a separate file on a USB flash drive. Log Comms can only be enabled when LIS
Communications is enabled. The default value is unchecked.
Forced Upload checkbox
This field appears only if the LIS Solicited Results checkbox is unchecked (disabled).
The Forced Upload function is designed to assist BD representatives in troubleshooting LIS
communications problems. When this function is enabled and saved, the Culture display
features a Send button (in place of the Save button) that enables the representative to send
recalled vial/culture data to the LIS. If vial/culture information is modified, the Save button
reappears. The default value is unchecked.
<CR><LF> checkbox
This field appears only if BDMODEM is selected.
• Select the <CR><LF> checkbox to terminate a record, making it easy to read the record on
some displays or printouts.
• Uncheck the checkbox to use <CR> to terminate a record. All logical records defined in the
ASTM protocol are terminated by a Carriage Return <CR>.
Host Query Mode drop-down box
This field appears only if the LIS Solicited Results checkbox is disabled (unchecked).
In Host Query mode the instrument can request demographic information from the LIS for new
specimens and vials entered/logged in at the instrument. To enable Host Query, Accession
Barcoding must be enabled, and the communications must be set for unsolicited processing.
Select the Drop Down Arrow next to the Host Query Mode field to display the mode selection
box. Then select the desired mode.
