Sterilisation Indicators

Supplier: KARTELL

Adhesive tape.

Supplier: BAG Health Care

These indicator strips turns green to black colour.

These chemical integrators are Class 5 integrating indicators used for pack control as a method for monitoring sterilisation process conditions inside each pack. They can also be used inside a process challenge device (PCD) to release processed items, excluding implants (load control), however they do not replace the use of biological indicators.

Supplier: CROSSTEX

Spore suspensions are pure suspensions of viable spores from specific organisms of known resistance to various sterilisation processes. These biological indicators are used to validate that bacterial spores have been completely destroyed. The indicator is simply processed with the load in the steriliser. No bacterial growth after culturing indicates that the sterilisation process is effective. Growth indicates ineffective sterilisation.

Supplier: CROSSTEX

Inoculated carrier mini spore discs for monitoring EO and dry heat processes.

Supplier: 3M MEDICAL

This auto-reader for steam, 390, is designed to incubate and automatically read the biological indicators for steam at 60 °C for a final fluorescent result.

Supplier: DELTALAB

Sterilisation indicator tapes for steam autoclave.

Supplier: CROSSTEX

Self-adhesive, non toxic, chemical process indicators change from blue to pink upon exposure to 10 minutes of saturated steam at 121 °C or 2 minutes at 134 °C. Longer exposure will result in a brighter shade of pink. The blue to pink colour transition is sensitive to time, temperature, and the presence of saturated steam.

Supplier: CROSSTEX

Self-contained biological indicators (SCBIs) for monitoring steam sterilisation consist of a durable PC vial with cap, a crushable glass ampoule with Trypticase® soy broth (TSB) modified with pH indicator, and a disc inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores.

Supplier: CROSSTEX

Self-adhesive, non-toxic, chemical process indicators that change from yellow to red upon exposure to gamma or electron beam radiation. Labels are coated with a UV blocking agent for protection from exposure to UV light. A minimum of 15 kGy irradiation is recommended for sufficient end-point colour development. At greater dosage levels, the radiation indicators exhibit a darker shade of red.

Supplier: CROSSTEX

Chemical process indicators provide a fast and consistent visual check on items that were sterilised by EO.

Supplier: MESA LABORATORIES

Spore Strips consist of a paper spore strip inoculated with a sterilization-resistant spore population which are packaged in a glassine envelope. The glassine envelope serves as a microbial barrier which protects the spore strip from post sterilization contamination. Reduced incubation time available with appropriate conditions.

Supplier: S–„DPACK MEDICA

The discs are available in a variety of blank or printed versions.

Supplier: CROSSTEX

Bacillus subtilis strips for monitoring low temperature steam sterilisation processes.

Supplier: CROSSTEX

These spore ampoules are ideal for use in validation and routine monitoring of liquid steam sterilization cycles. Spore ampoules are manufactured using hermetically sealed Type I borosilicate glass containing an exclusively formulated Tryptic
Soy Broth (TSB) modified with pH indicator, and Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores. No activation is required; simply expose Spore Ampoules to sterilization process and incubate.

Supplier: CROSSTEX

Biological sterilisation indicators are used to perform sterilisation cycle validation. They are created by inoculating spore suspensions of certified population and resistance onto paper strips.
