3MH1261

3M™ Attest™ biological indicators that monitor the effectiveness of the steam sterilization process and provide results within 24 hr. 3M™ Attest™ 1261 biological indicators for 270 deg F gravity steam cycles. Self-contained BI for 270 deg F gravity steam cycles consists of a geobacillus stearothermophilus spore strip, sealed glass ampule with growth medium and a bromocresol purple pH indicator dye system, blue color coded cap with holes for sterilant penetration and a filter as a barrier and a chemical indicator on the label that changes from rose to brown when processed. After sterilization, the vial is crushed to join the growth media with the spore strip. The BI is incubated for 24 hr for a visual color change readout. A color change to yellow indicates surviving spores and a positive result.
