Blood culture packs now available

June 20, 2018

Blood culture packs now are now available if you take blood cultures in your area.

The blood culture packs have been developed to promote the use of an aseptic non-touch technique (ANTT) during sampling, to minimise the risk of contaminating the blood culture sample.

Blood culture’s that become contaminated can falsely increase the Trust’s infection rates including MRSA, for which we have a zero tolerance approach to.

The blood culture packs are ordered through Oracle Cloud with supplier being Rochelle.

Blood culture pack order codes are:

  • Blood Culture Pack 23g RMT9977
  • Blood Culture Pack 21g RMT9976

Wards and departments are able to set up their own standing order but if assistance is required please call ext. 4697, 4940 or 4695.
