SteriTestTM steam biological indicators for monitoring steam sterilization consist of a thermoplastic vial and a brown cap, a crushable glass ampoule with tryptic soy broth (TSB) modified with pH indicator, and a disc inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores.
Sure-Check Pouches come with built-in internal/external multi-parameter steam sterilization indicators to confirm all 3-sterilization criteria—time, temperature and pressure (steam). When used in conjunction with biological indicators, provide the highest level of sterility assurance.
STEAMPlus™ Class 5 Integrators are used with steam sterilization cycles to provide a distinct pass or fail result, which allows for the release of all non-implant loads before the results of the spore test are received. Does not replace the routine use of a biological indicator.
