1 Challenge #6: There are 2 main points of concern when evaluating EM data that may indicate something is going on in your manufacturing environment:
1. A change in numbers
2. A change in species
Click on Tracking & Trending to investigate.
2 A basic indicator for changes is a change in the ration between Gram positive and Gram negative isolates over time. Click on "Bacteria by Gram Reaction."
3 The report will default to the previous 3 months, but we would like to choose a different time frame. Click on the "Options" icon.
4 Change the Start Date to 2016-03-01 and the End Date to 2016-06-01 to review Gram reaction during this time frame. Click "OK."
5 Note the results:
86% Gram positive
11% Gram negative
6 Take a look at a different time frame by clicking on the "Options" icon.
7 Choose the time frame from 2017-01-01 to 2017-03-01.
8 Click "OK" to review the results of the Gram reaction report with new inputs.
9 Note the results:
35% Gram positive
65% Gram negative
10 Where does this higher number of Gram negative come from? Possibly a water issue? Click on the "Negative" pie piece to learn more.
11 The additional columns can be defined by the user, and will help them stay in control of their environment.
