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.Use a clamp to break the ampoule inside the cooled biological indicator, shake it to make the bacterial pieces fully contact the liquid culture medium and culture it in time.
5.Culture it at 56~58℃.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.After confirming the sterilization effect, please remove the label and paste it in the record book for storage.
Result judgment:
1.After 24 h,culture medium color purple to yellow, unqualified sterilization.
