Biological indicators provide the best assurance of sterility by challenging the steriliser with quantifiable, highly resistant spores. After sterilisation, the vial is 'crushed' to join the growth media with the processed spore strip. A colour change to yellow indicates surviving spores and a positive result. Biological indicators are used for load control monitoring which is the process by which a load is monitored and released based on the result of a biological indicator (BI) in a test pack.
- El autocontenido (BI) para ciclos de vapor asistidos por vacío de 121 °C por gravedad / 132 °C consiste en una tira de esporas de Bacillus stearothermophilus
- Con ampolla de vidrio sellada con medio de crecimiento y un sistema indicador de pH púrpura de bromocresol
- Tapa con código de color marrón con orificios para penetración de esterilizante y un filtro hidrófobo como barrera bacteriana, y un indicador químico en la etiqueta que cambia de rosa a marrón cuando se procesa
- Los viales indicadores biológicos son fáciles de usar e interpretar con lectura visual del color en 48 horas
- Los indicadores biológicos autónomos reducen significativamente la posibilidad de contaminación, minimizan los falsos positivos y garantizan resultados más precisos.
Rapid Readout biological indicators include, disposable test packs, an auto-reader and log books for clear, non-interpretative biological results in just 1 - 4 hours. Use with 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 290.
The 3M™ A t t e s t™ 1292-S Rapid Readout Biological Indicator is appropriate for use in industrial steam sterilisation applications with appropriate validation by the end user. It is a reliable, convenient and accurate sterilisation monitoring indicator designed for validation and routine monitoring. The Attest 1292-S has been validated with a fluorescent Reduced Incubation Time (RIT) of 3 hours when used in conjunction with the 3M™ A t t e s t™ 293 or 290 Auto-readers, under specific test conditions. This proprietary technology from 3M can help improve inventory turns by allowing medical device manufacturers to speed supply chain throughput and reduce manufacturing unit cost. The economic benefit gained from a faster biological indicator final read time is measurable and sustainable.
