Intended Use
The BacT/ALERT SV Culture Bottles are used with the BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Systems in qualitative procedures for enhanced recovery and detection of aerobic microorganisms ( bacteria and fungi) from blood and other normally sterile body fluids.
Device Story
BacT/ALERT SV Culture Bottle provides nutritional/environmental conditions for microbial growth; used with BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Systems. Inoculated bottles are incubated and continuously monitored for microorganisms. Detection relies on reflectance technology measuring CO2 production via an emulsion-based sensor. System provides qualitative detection of aerobic/facultative anaerobic bacteria and fungi from blood and sterile body fluids. Used in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Output alerts clinicians to presence of microorganisms, facilitating diagnosis of blood infections.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Seeded studies performed on 23 organisms diluted in human blood. Compared BacT/ALERT SV bottle to BacT/Alert Standard Aerobic bottle. Results demonstrated equivalent recovery and detection times for all tested organisms.
Technological Characteristics
Reflectance-based microbial detection; emulsion-based CO2 sensor; utilizes BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Systems; compatible with blood and sterile body fluids; intended for adult patient samples.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients for the qualitative recovery and detection of aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) from blood and other normally sterile body fluids.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A microbial growth monitor is a device intended for medical purposes that measures the concentration of bacteria suspended in a liquid medium by measuring changes in light scattering properties, optical density, electrical impedance, or by making direct bacterial counts. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

Device Equivalent to: BacT/Alert Standard Aerobic Culture Bottle
- A description of the device. (a)(4)
Device Description: The BacT/ALERT SV Culture Bottle was developed for the same intended use as the current BacT/Alert Standard Aerobic Culture Bottle, to provide suitable nutritional and environmental conditions for organisms commonly encountered in blood infections and normally sterile body fluids. An inoculated bottle is placed into the BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Instruments where it is incubated and continuously monitored for the presence of microorganisms that will grow in the BacT/ALERT SV Bottle.
#### A statement of the intended use of the device. (a)(5)
Device Intended Use: The BacT/ALERT SV Culture Bottles are used with the BacT/ALERT Microbial Detection Systems in qualitative procedures for enhanced recovery and detection of aerobic microorganisms ( bacteria and fungi) from blood and other normally sterile body fluids.
