Implementing Vitek MS: The St James’s Hospital Experience Lisa Rose Senior Medical Scientist Microbiology Dept. St James’s Hospital, Dublin, Ireland [email protected] Outline Vitek MS & Myla Validation Vitek-MS Workflow Advantages & Challenges St James’s Hospital, Dublin 1000 bed tertiary care hospital Largest laboratory in Rep of Ireland Microbiology lab: >300,000 specimens/yr MALDI: What did we want & Why? Current issues: – Improved patient care: antibiotic therapy & MDRO & management of sepsis – Staffing restrictions – Stringent budget control Faster ID Cheaper Better Consistent results: all staff & all shifts Automated: future-proof - full lab automation Easy to use: training Reduce TATs Reallocate staff to added value tasks Improve patient management & antimicrobial therapy How did we Implement Vitek-MS? Selection: performance, existing instrumentation, middleware ISO15189:2012 standard Installation qualification (IQ) – Installation engineer – – – – Delivery Unpacking Vitek MS – PC check Prepare slide, fine tuning Installation Operational Qualification (OQ) – Medical scientist & application specialist – – – Creation of user accounts Barcode validation Send analysis request ID & AST from LIS Workflow Vitek MS Performance Qualification (PQ) – equipment consistently performs as intended Training Validation OQ: Interface Local LIS support essential from start of project Prepare detailed LIMS validation protocol All permutations – Investigation types – MRN/hospital source – ID, ID/AST Dedicate resources at time of switch over: staff, time, space Myla uses stem organisms: Multiple codes for different organisms Never switch over on a Friday!

ID Familiar names Clinicians/MS New/unfamiliar ID -increased speciation Inform of users of change Include comment on report: “Strep agalactiae was previously reported by this laboratory as Beta Haemolytic Strep Group B” B” Automation of ID Use of trad ID methods: gram morphology, biochem, sero tests Over-reliance on MALDI ID -forget to check gram, morph Check colony morphology & ID Human/numerical error Algorithms: when to accept ID: 99.9% Skills loss? Ongoing training & ed ID/AST Breakpoints available New ID/no breakpoints Check classification/breakpoint committee: eg Str. pseudopneumoniae ID/AST Middleware Vitek2 direct LIMS Myla: Vitek2/VitekMS/LIMS Interface required Issues: Responsibility Myla or LIMS? AST review Vitek 2 Myla lacks full Vitek2 functionality Remote access to Vitek2 through Myla. Suggest for next Myla update? Calibration Biann PM Breakdown Multiple ID methods available No access to MALDI 1 ID system Plan: Rearrange working day early/late SLA with lab using same instrument Small stock: Vitek ID cards Has it been worth it? Validation & training required in change over Faster, better, cheaper: rapid, accurate, consistent ID Still learning: unfamiliar IDs Prompted change in work practices & workflow More time to deal with unusual ID/AST Future: – – – preliminary blood culture ID Mycobacteria ID detection of resistance: CPE YES!
