Description

The Vial Attest Steam Indicator with a Blue Cap is a crucial component in sterilization processes, commonly used in healthcare and laboratory settings. This indicator is designed to monitor and confirm the effectiveness of steam sterilization cycles.

The blue-capped vial contains a specially formulated chemical indicator that undergoes a visible change when exposed to steam under proper sterilization conditions. This change in color provides a clear visual signal, indicating that the sterilization process has reached the necessary parameters for effective disinfection.

Healthcare professionals and laboratory technicians rely on the Vial Attest Steam Indicator to ensure the reliability of their sterilization procedures. This indicator serves as an essential tool in maintaining aseptic conditions and confirming the successful sterilization of medical instruments and equipment.

Biological indicators are the only method that indicates the sterilization process was effective and the spores were killed. A nonpathogenic but highly resistant spore, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, is used to provide a maximum challenge to the steam sterilization process. Self-contained biological indicators. Design provides a maximum challenge to various steam sterilization cycles. A spore burden beyond the average bioburden (germ count) provides an extra margin of safety. Optimized media promote rapid growth of spores. Definitive color change of the media indicates sterilization process ineffectiveness. Quick verification time of 24 hours versus one-week, mail-in services.
