An apparatus and method are provided for visually monitoring, detecting, and/or determining the presence, absence, and/or growth of harmful or potentially harmful bacterial microorganisms beneath a wound dressing, in one example used to cover an indwelling central venous catheter or other catheter. A bacteria detection apparatus includes a barrier membrane, a permeable membrane for placement proximate a wound or a catheter insertion site, and an indicator between the barrier membrane and the permeable membrane for indicating the presence of bacteria proximate the permeable membrane. A method of using a bacterial growth detection apparatus is also provided.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé permettant de contrôler, détecter et/ou déterminer visuellement la présence, l'absence et/ou la prolifération de micro-organismes bactériens dangereux ou potentiellement dangereux sous un pansement, utilisé, par exemple, pour recouvrir un cathéter veineux central à demeure ou tout autre cathéter. Un dispositif de détection des bactérie comprend une membrane imperméable, une membrane perméable disposées à proximité d'une blessure ou d'un site d'introduction de cathéter, et un indicateur entre la membrane imperméable et la membrane perméable afin d'indiquer la présence de bactéries à proximité de la membrane perméable. Cette invention concerne également un procédé permettant d'utiliser un dispositif de détection de la prolifération bactérienne.
