The present invention describes an apparatus for detecting biological activities in a large number of blood culture vials. The vials are placed in a plurality of arcuate shaped drawers that together form a drum that is rotated about a central horizontal axis. In one preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes five drawers with each drawer containing forty-eight vials. The apparatus includes a door on the front that opens and permits the lower drawer to be removed from the apparatus by lab personnel to load the entire drawer with up to forty-eight vials and unload the same when necessary from the top of the drawer. Another embodiment has an indicator associated with each vial in the drawer to provide additional information to lab personnel about the status of each vial in the drawer.

L'invention décrit un appareil permettant de détecter l'activité biologique dans un grand nombre de flacons pour hémoculture. Les flacons sont placés dans une série de tiroirs de forme courbée qui, ensemble, forment un tambour qui tourne autour d'un axe central horizontal. Dans un modèle privilégié, l'appareil comprend cinq tiroirs dont chacun contient quarante-huit flacons. L'appareil comporte sur la partie avant une porte qui s'ouvre et qui permet au personnel du laboratoire de sortir le tiroir inférieur afin de le remplir avec quarante-huit flacons et de le vider, au besoin, à partir de la partie supérieure du tiroir. Un autre modèle comprend un indicateur associé à chaque flacon dans le tiroir, qui permet de fournir au personnel du laboratoire des renseignements supplémentaires sur l'état de chaque flacon dans le tiroir.
