Rapid readout biological indicator for EO (ethylene oxide) sterilization.

• Self-contained biological indicator design reduces the risk of transfer positives
• Conforms with ISO 11138:2006 Parts 1 and 2 - Biological Indicators
• Used in conjunction with the 3M™ Attest™ Auto-reader 390G
• Used to monitor ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization cycles
• Four hour readout
• Green cap

The 3M™ A t t e s t™ 1294-S Rapid Readout Biological Indicator for Ethylene Oxide is a reliable, convenient, and efficient sterilization monitoring indicator designed for validation and routine monitoring of industrial ethylene oxide sterilization processes. The indicator has been validated with a fluorescent Reduced Incubation Time (RIT) of 4 hours when used in conjunction with the Model 390G Auto-reader, under specific test conditions.

This proprietary technology can help improve inventory turns by allowing medical device manufacturers to speed supply chain throughput and reduce manufacturing unit costs. The economic benefit gained from a faster biological indicator final read time is measurable and sustainable.
