ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus and method of determining the integrity of an instrument and the data signals that it generates representing the amount of microbial growth in a fluid specimen, such as blood, wherein the specimen and a culture medium are introduced into a sealable container and exposed to conditions enabling metabolic processes to take place in the presence of microorganisms. An integrity testing module is used to perform the integrity tests on the data signals and determines whether the data signals from each sensing station are within predetermined parameters and, more particularly, directly detects data signal instabilities that degrade microbial growth detection performance.
