Culture medium control devices are diagnostic tools used to verify whether a laboratory culture medium can effectively support microbial growth. They contain freeze-dried microorganisms on discs or similar materials, allowing clinicians to test the medium’s viability before use in sensitive procedures like microbiological testing or infection control.
These devices are typically regulated as in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) and are supplied as single-use items for quality assurance in microbiology labs. Their purpose is to ensure accurate test results by confirming the medium’s performance, though classification and supply details may vary by jurisdiction.
