Description

The 3M™ Attest™ Biological Indicator 1264 (green cap) is designed for reliable monitoring for Ethylene Oxide sterilization process when used in conjunction with an appropriate Biological Indicator Incubator.

The 3M™ Attest™ 1264 Biological Indicator (green cap) is designed for monitoring of ethylene oxide (E0) sterilization processes. After sterilization, the vial is “crushed” to join the growth media with the processed spore strip. The BI is incubated for 48 hours for a visual color change readout. The presence of Bacillus atrophaeus spores is detected by a visual color change (media turns yellow). The yellow color change indicates a sterilization process failure. The final readout of a negative result (media remains green) is made after 48 hours of incubation.
