Rapid Readout Steam Biological Indicator 30 Minutes
Description
Operating Instructions
1.Blank space of label on surface of indicator, record necessary matters for sterilization management (such as: sterilization processing date, operator, etc.).
2.Put the indicator into a standard packing bag, then place it in the most difficult to sterilize position in the sterilizer and run sterilization procedures.
3.After sterilization is completed, take out the indicator from the bag. After confirming that the chemical indicator ink on the label has changed color, leave it naturally to cool to room temperature. If there is no change in the chemical indicator ink on the label, check the sterilization process.
4.Press the upper cover of the indicator tightly, use a clamp or the designated slot in the rapid biological incubator to crush the ampoule inside the cooled indicator. Shake the bacteria pieces to fully contact the liquid culture medium, confirm that the bacteria pieces are immersed in the culture medium, and culture them in the TRYC brand rapid biological culture reader.
5.Take another unsterilized indicator of the same batch number and use it as a positive control for culture under the same conditions after the ampoule is broken.
6.Open the lid of the rapid biological incubator, put indicator into the culture hole in the incubator, close the lid of the incubator, incubate both the positive control and sterilized indicators for 0.5 hours until the red/green indicator light illuminates with the result signal.If need observe the color change of the biological indicator, culture until 24h.
7.After confirming the sterilization effect, please remove the label and paste it in the record book for storage.
Fluorescence test result judgment:
1.After sterilization, fluorescence positive(red light or +) unqualified sterilization.
2. After sterilization, fluorescence negative(green light or -) qualified sterilization.
3. Test results are valid only if the reference fluorescence is positive
6. Precautions
1.Before using product, please confirm integrity of product and use it within validity period.
2.Store in a dry environment at 15℃-25℃ (relative humidity 35%-60%), away from light
3.Indicators that are judged to have failed sterilization, have expired, or are used in positive control tests should be discarded after sterilization.
4.This product cannot be used for biological monitoring of dry heat, EO and other low temperature sterilization processes.
7.Validity period: 24 months. production date, batch number, specifications be found product packaging.
