Features

  • 3M Attest Rapid Readout Biological Indicator For Steam detects the presence of Geobacillus stearothermophilus by detecting the activity of alpha‑glucosidase, an enzyme present within the organism
  • Presence of the enzyme is detected by reading fluorescence produced by the enzymatic breakdown of a non‑fluorescent substrate, this creates a fluorescence change, which is detected by the auto‑reader
  • Fluorescence change indicates a steam sterilization process failure 
  • Presence of G. stearothermophilus organisms by a visual color change reaction
  • Biochemical activity of the G. stearothermophilus organism produces acid by‑products that cause the media to change color from purple to yellow
  • Visual pH color change also indicates a steam sterilization process failure
  • Due to the high sensitivity of the 3‑hour fluorescent results, however, there is no advantage to incubating the Attest 1292 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator beyond 3 hours
  • Provides results in three hours
  • Compliant with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11138:2006 Parts 1 and 3
  • Self-contained, reducing the risk of false positives due to contamination
  • Automatic readout means unambiguous YES/NO, PASS/FAIL result
  • Indications: Use the Attest™ 1292 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator to monitor:
    - 250°F (121°C) gravity steam sterilization cycles
    - 270°F (132°C) vacuum assisted steam sterilization cycles

More Information

  • Storage: 
    - Best stored in the original box under normal room conditions: 15-30ºC (59-86ºF) and 35-60% relative humidity.
    - Do not store these biological indicators near sterilants or other chemicals. 
  • Precautions:
    Do not use the Attest™ 1292 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator to monitor:
    - 270°F (132°C) gravity steam sterilization cycles.
    - Dry heat, chemical vapor, ethylene oxide or other low temperature sterilization processes. 
  • Warning: 
    - There is a glass ampoule inside the plastic vial of the biological indicator. To avoid the risk of serious injury from flying debris due to a ruptured biological indicator:
    - Allow the biological indicator to cool for the recommended time period before crushing. Crushing or excessive handling of the biological indicator before cooling may cause the glass ampoule to burst.
    - Wear safety glasses and gloves when removing the biological indicator from the sterilizer.
    - Wear safety glasses when crushing the biological indicator.
    - Handle the biological indicator by the cap when crushing and tapping.
    - Do not use your fingers to crush the glass ampoule.
    - Do not roll the biological indicator between fingers to wet the spore strip
