Attest™ Biological Indicators Flash Gravity Steam Sterilization 3M™ ESPE™ 1261P

Features & Benefits:

• Attest™ Biological Indicator are self-contained biological indicators.
• Design provides a maximum challenge to various steam sterilization cycles.
• A spore burden beyond the average bioburden (germ count) provides an extra margin of safety.
• Optimized media promote rapid growth of spores.
• Definitive color change of the media indicates sterilization process ineffectiveness.
• Quick verification time of 24 hours versus one-week, mail-in services.
• Attest™ Biological Indicators are used in conjunction with 3M™ Attest™ Biological Indicator Incubator 116.
• Attest™ Biological Indicators can eliminate recalls when used in every load.
• Biological Indicator for steam 270°F/132°C gravity displacement sterilization cycles.
• Attest™ Biological Indicator is available with 24-hour result and blue cap.
• 3M Attest Biological indicators that monitor the effectiveness of the steam sterilization process and provide results within 48 hours.
• The self-contained BI for 250°F/121°C gravity and 270°F /132°C vacuum-assisted steam cycles consist of a Geobacillus stearothermophilus spore strip; sealed glass ampule with growth medium and a bromocresol purple pH indicator system; brown color-coded cap with holes for sterilant penetration and a filter as a barrier, and a chemical indicator on the label that changes from rose to brown when processed.
• After sterilization, the vial is "crushed" to join the growth media with the processed spore strip.
• The BI is incubated for 48 hours for a visual color change readout.
• A color change to yellow indicates surviving spores and a positive result.

Application:

• Monitoring 250°F/121°C gravity and 270°F/132°C vacuum-assisted steam sterilization processes.
