3M Attest Rapid Readout Sterilization Biological Indicator Vial Steam

Features

• 3M Attest Rapid Readout Biological Indicator For Steam detects the presence of Geobacillus stearothermophilus by detecting the activity of alpha‑glucosidase, an enzyme present within the organism
• Presence of the enzyme is detected by reading fluorescence produced by the enzymatic breakdown of a non‑fluorescent substrate, this creates a fluorescence change, which is detected by the auto‑reader
• Fluorescence change indicates a steam sterilization process failure 
• Presence of G. stearothermophilus organisms by a visual color change reaction
• Biochemical activity of the G. stearothermophilus organism produces acid by‑products that cause the media to change color from purple to yellow
• Visual pH color change also indicates a steam sterilization process failure
• Due to the high sensitivity of the 3‑hour fluorescent results, however, there is no advantage to incubating the Attest 1292 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator beyond 3 hours
• Provides results in three hours
• Compliant with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11138:2006 Parts 1 and 3
• Self-contained, reducing the risk of false positives due to contamination
• Automatic readout means unambiguous YES/NO, PASS/FAIL result
• Indications: Use the Attest™ 1292 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator to monitor:
  - 250°F (121°C) gravity steam sterilization cycles
  - 270°F (132°C) vacuum assisted steam sterilization cycles
