3M™ Attest Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1492V, for Steam Sterilization, 200/cs

The 3M™ Attest™ Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1492V is a selfcontained biological indicator specifically designed for rapid and reliable qualification testing and routine monitoring of 270°F (132°C) and 275°F (135°C) dynamicairremoval (prevacuum and steam-flush pressure-pulse (SFPP)) steam sterilization processes when used in conjunction with the 3M™ Attest™ Autoreader 490 or the 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 490H having software version 4.2.7 or greater. The selfcontained design includes a carrier with spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus and a media ampoule containing bacteriological media. The spore carrier and media ampoule are contained in a plastic vial topped with a brown cap. A chemical process indicator which changes from pink to light brown or darker upon exposure to steam is located on the top of the cap.After processing, the biological indicator is activated and incubated in the 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader. A final negative reading after the specified incubation period indicates an acceptable sterilization process. A 24-minute result is provided when incubated in Model 490 or 490H Auto-readers having software version 4.2.7 or greater. Provides BI results in 24 minutes in 3M Attest 490/490H Auto-readers with software version 4.2.7 or greater, Dynamic-air-removal (Pre-vacuum and SFPP): 132°C (270°F) 3 or 4 min. 135°C (275°F) 3 min. Meets ISO and FDA performance requirements for biological indicators, Contains viable organisms that provide a direct measure of lethality, Puts your instrument turnaround speed into overdrive, Puts your instrument turnaround speed into overdrive for improved patient safety, *When used with 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 490 or the Attest™ Auto-reader 490H with software version 4.2.7 or greater.
