ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor based apparatus and method for recording antimicrobic susceptibility data and biotype data. Manual data entry means in the form of two separate arrays of switches are provided for entering susceptibility data from microdilution test panels and a biochemical identification panels. An LED array is provided in a test panel housing on the front panel of the instrument cabinet in which the system is housed for feedback of data entry under microprocessor control. A microprocessor system records the entered well coordinated data for the microdilution test panel wells and the biochemical identification panel wells and converts the entered data into a printout of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antimicrobics in the MIC test panel and a probable identification of the unknown microorganism. A multicopy form is provided for the printout from a printer functioning under microprocessor control. The printout includes both human readable MIC and biochemical identification information and a machine readable code for subsequent entry of the information into a data base.
