3M Attest Rapid Readout Biological Indicator
For 132 C / 134 C Gravity Displacement Steam Sterilisers -
1291
This 3M Attest Indicator is for 132 degrees C flash steam sterilizers. It
provides assurance of sterility by challenging the sterilizer with quantifiable,
highly resistant Bacillus stearothermophilus spores, with results after one
hour.
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. 3M Attest 1291 Rapid Readout
Biological Indicators for 132° C (270° F) gravity steam cycles. Self-contained
(BI) for 132° C (270° F) gravity steam cycles consisting of a Bacillus
stearothermophilus spore strip; sealed glass ampule with growth medium and dual
indicator system; blue color-coded cap with holes for sterilant penetration and
a hydrophobic filter as a bacterial 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 1 hour in the Attest 190 series auto-reader for a
fluorescent reading. A red light indicates a positive result.
