Abstract: A system and method for analyzing bodily fluid include a sample holder holding a bodily fluid sample, an image capture device generating an image of the bodily fluid sample comprising a plurality of fields of view. An image processor is programmed to determine a biofilm in the bodily fluid sample from the image, determine a biofilm area or volume within each of the plurality of fields of view to form a plurality of biofilm areas, determine a total biofilm area or total biofilm volume by adding the plurality of biofilm areas, determine a first value corresponding to a comparison of the total biofilm area or the total biofilm volume and a total volume of the bodily fluid sample, and classify the first value into a classification. An analyzer, using the classification, displays an indicator on a display for indicating the classification of the biofilm within the bodily fluid sample.

Abstract: A system and method for determining types of objects within a bodily fluid sample includes a sample holder holding a bodily fluid sample, an image capture device generating a plurality of images of the sample, and a sample positioner positioning the sample holder. An image capture device generates a plurality of images of the sample at a plurality of positions. A trained image classifier the plurality of images at a trained image classifier to identify a type of objects in the bodily fluid sample. An analyzer, that in response to classifying, displays an indicator on a display for indicating the type of objects is present within the bodily fluid sample.
