Working principle of the BactoSonic
Das Implantat wird in die Flüssigkeit der entsprechenden Box gelegt und in dem für dieses Verfahren speziell entwickelte BactoSonic Ultraschallbad sonifiziert. Dieses Gerät arbeitet im Vergleich zu anderen Ultraschallbädern mit niederfrequentem Ultraschall bei geringer Intensität und hoher Homogenität. Ziel ist die Entfernung des Biofilms, ohne die Bakterien zu zerstören, die für die nachfolgende Analyse erhalten bleiben müssen. Die erhaltene Flüssigkeit wird mikrobiologisch verarbeitet und die Bakterienmenge quantitativ angegeben. Es können bis zu 10.000-mal mehr Bakterien nachgewiesen werden als mit üblichen Methoden, wie zum Beispiel aus Biopsien von periprothetischem Gewebe. Mischinfektionen und unterschiedliche Bakterien-Morphotype können besser nachgewiesen werden. Die Sensitivität ist insbesondere bei Patienten mit vorangegangener Antibiotikatherapie verbessert.

Implants and infection
With the increasing use of medical implants, we are also confronted increasingly confronted with infectious biofilms on them. The most most common implants are joint prostheses, osteosyntheses, vascular prostheses, pacemakers and defibrillators, dental implants, neurosurgical shunts and breast implants.
The success of treatment for implant infections depends on a precise
precise, microbiological diagnosis. Because microorganisms form
foreign bodies, they are often difficult to detect in the surrounding tissue.

While free-living (planktonic) bacteria are killed by antibiotics and the immune system, adherent immune system, adherent bacteria survive protected in the extra cellular in the extra cellular matrix of the biofilm.
Detection of biofilm-forming bacteria
The implant is aseptically removed from the body in the operating theatre and transported in a sterile box to the microbiology laboratory within 24 hours. After addition of Ringer's solution, the implant is shaken vigorously and exposed to ultrasound for 1 minute. The sonication removes > 99.9% of the adherent bacteria.
