Attest™ Biological Sterilization Indicator | 25 per Box

The Attest™ Steam Sterilization Biological Indicator Vial (product code 1262P) is a critical component for ensuring the effectiveness of steam sterilization processes in healthcare settings. This biological indicator (BI) is designed to provide reliable and accurate monitoring of steam sterilization, giving healthcare professionals confidence in the sterility of their instruments and equipment.

Key Features:

1. Effective Sterilization Monitoring:
   • Biological Indicator: Contains live spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus, a highly resistant microorganism used to challenge the effectiveness of the steam sterilization process.
   • Reliable Results: Provides clear evidence of successful sterilization by verifying that conditions were sufficient to kill the highly resistant spores.
2. Easy-to-Read Results:
   • Visual Indicator: The vial includes a color change indicator that transitions from purple to yellow if the spores survive the sterilization process, signaling a failed sterilization cycle.
   • Quick Interpretation: Simple visual confirmation allows for rapid determination of sterilization efficacy.
3. Convenient and Safe Design:
   • Self-Contained System: Each vial is a self-contained unit, reducing the risk of contamination and simplifying the testing process.
   • User-Friendly: Designed for ease of use, the vial can be placed directly in the sterilizer with the load to be monitored.
4. Compliance and Standards:
   • Regulatory Compliance: Meets stringent regulatory standards, including those set by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
   • Quality Assurance: Manufactured under strict quality control conditions to ensure consistent and reliable performance.
5. Broad Application:
   • Versatile Use: Suitable for a variety of steam sterilization cycles, including gravity, pre-vacuum, and other standard cycles used in healthcare facilities.
   • Compatibility: Can be used with various types of steam sterilizers, making it versatile for different sterilization setups.

Applications:

• Hospitals: Essential for monitoring the effectiveness of steam sterilization processes for surgical instruments and medical devices.
• Dental Practices: Ensures that dental tools and instruments are properly sterilized, protecting patient safety.
• Laboratories: Used in laboratory settings to verify the sterility of equipment and supplies.
• Clinics and Outpatient Facilities: Provides assurance of sterility for instruments used in outpatient procedures and treatments.
