Accelerate PhenoTest - BC Kit

Hear firsthand the difference fast MICs are making
Independent studies show the BC kit provides identification and susceptibility results with MICs about 40 hours faster than current methods.

Pair rapid MICs with your existing workflow
Now you can use your existing ID test to get fast AST results using the Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit.

Input ID results automatically or manually for the AST configuration.

It’s your lab after all, so do it your way.

Timely escalation to effective therapy reduces mortality

Impact of Time to Definitive Therapy on Mortality4
Empiric therapy may not be adequate in up to 25% of patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs).4 Shortening the time horizon from empiric to optimal therapy requires susceptibility results with the MIC for 52% of patients with BSIs.5

Timely escalation to effective therapy reduces hospital length of stay

Impact of Effectiveness of Antibiotic on Hospital Length of Stay (Gram-negative sepsis)6
Reducing hospital length of stay (LOS) by two days reduces broad spectrum antibiotic exposure that may increase the risk of HAIs, C. difficile infection, and increase risk of community-acquired resistance. It also substantially reduces cost of care.

De-escalation can improve patient outcomes

% CDI Incidence by Number of Simultaneous Drug Classes Administered
Reducing the time frame from empiric broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage to optimal therapy has been shown to dramatically reduce the incidence of C. difficile in patients with BSIs.7

Reporting antimicrobial susceptibility results approximately 40 hours faster than conventional methods gives clinicians the data required to optimize therapy 1-2 days faster.
