SELF-CONTAINED BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS Key Components
Self-Contained Biological Indicators consist of: A plastic pipe and cap. The cap with a hole is placed on top of the pipe to allow the sterilizing agent topenetrate into the indicator. Between pipe and cap there is a filter paper which is used to avoid pollution. A crushable media ampule which contains reaction liquid with a fluorogenic substrates. A barrier ispositioned like a plug between the carrier and the ampule. The LES001 Enzyme Indicator, when, used with an automatic reader (incubation temperature 56-60℃),The label on the outside ofthe plastic pipe contains a Type1 chemical indicator strip.
NOTE The Positive Control EI should show positive (automatic reader displays"f"). If the Positive Control asdoes not show signs of positive, consider the test invalid. Shortexcursions outside the range of temperature recommended will not impactthe performance of theEis. Do not use after the expiration date.Do not refrigerate.Autoclave for not less than 30 minutes at 121℃ or per other validated disposal cycle priorto discard.Vacuum-assisted steam processes includes pre-vacuum and dynamic-air-removal saturated steamsterilization processes.
