Sterilization Indicator Challenge Pack Attest™ Rapid Readout EO Gas 4 Hour Processing Time

Features

• 3M™ Attest™ 1298/1298F Rapid Readout Biological Indicator for EO Test Pack is specifically designed to routinely challenge the ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization process when used in conjunction with the 3M™ Attest™ 290G Auto‑reader or the 3M™ Attest™ Auto‑reader 390G
• This pack is designed to present a resistant challenge to the EO sterilization process as is the routine EO biological indicator syringe pack recommended by AAMI
• Each pack contains a 3M™ Attest™ 1294 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator for EO (green cap)
• The final negative biological indicator result, indicating an acceptable sterilization process, is made after 4 hours of incubation
• The biochemical activity of viable Bacillus atrophaeus produces acid by‑products that cause the media to change from blue‑green to yellow
• At the end of the aeration cycle, check to see that the external chemical indicator on the outside of the test pack has turned from red to green, which indicates the pack has been exposed to the EO sterilization process
