BIOLOGICAL INDICATOR TESTING (spore testing)

IN-OFFICE TESTING FOR STEAM OR ETHYLENE OXIDE STERILIZATION

ProTest 

Description:  Self-contained biological indicator (BI) for use in Steam or Ethylene Oxide sterilization processes.  Each test is made up of a plastic container with cap, a crushable glass ampoule inside with recovery media, and a paper strip inoculated with spores.  Fits existing dry block incubators.  Replaces 3M Attest® and many others.

Simple to use:  Place in center of sterilizer load, run normal sterilizer cycle, crush the ampoule and incubate it for 24 hours for steam (brown cap) or 48 hours for Ethylene Oxide (green cap). 

Results:  Color change to yellow or any turbidity in the ampoule indicates a Positive test (sterilizer failure).  Retesting is required. 

Packaging:  25 per box

Chemical Indicators Defined…

Chemical Indicators are a critical part of an effective quality assurance program and should be used in conjunction with physical monitoring and biological indicator testing for verifying the efficacy of a sterilization system.   They range from Class 1 to Class 5 as briefly described below:

Class 1 is process indicators often referred to as external indicators.  They distinguish between processed or unprocessed items and indicate that they were exposed the sterilizer.  These are seen as indicators on pouches, sterilizer tapes or labels.

Class 2 is a chemical indicator designed for a specific test procedure (e.g. The Bowie-Dick test used to determine if air removal has been adequate in dynamic-air-removal sterilizers)

Class 3 is a single parameter indicator.  It is designed to react to one of the critical parameters of sterilization.

Class 4 is a multi-parameter indicator.  It is designed to react to two or more of the critical parameters of sterilization.

Class 5 is an integrating indicator.  This chemical indicator reacts to all critical parameters of sterilization which include proper amount of time, temperature and pressure of steam sterilizers.  They have been correlated to the performance of a biological indicator when used according to the manufactures conditions noted on the label.

PROCESS INDICATORS (Class 1 indicator as described above)

Indicator Tapes

Description:  Indicator Tapes for steam, chemical vapor and Ethylene Oxide sterilization with good superior adhesion to woven and non-woven fabrics.  White strips on the tape change to dark brown/black during sterilization.

  • For steam sterilizers, color change after 10 minutes at 121˚ or 2 minutes at 132-134˚

  • For Chemiclaves, color change after 20 minutes. 

  • For Ethylene Oxide, color changes from brown to green when exposed to EO sterilization.  Complete color change in 45 minutes @ 600 mg/L, 40-60% RH, 54˚ C.
