The 3M Attest Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1491 is a self-contained biological indicator specifically designed for rapid and reliable qualification testing and routine monitoring of 270°F (132°C) and 275°F (135°C) gravity-displacement steam sterilization processes when used in conjunction with the 3M Attest Auto-reader 490. The self-contained design includes a spore carrier with spores of Gerbilles stearothermophilus and a media ampoule containing bacteriological media. The spore carrier and media ampoule are contained in a plastic vial topped with a blue cap. A chemical process indicator which changes from pink to brown upon exposure to steam is located on the top of the cap. After processing, the biological indicator is activated and incubated in the 3M Attest Auto-reader 490. A final negative reading after 30 minutes of incubation indicates an acceptable sterilization process.

• Provides results in 30 minutes
• Meets ISO and FDA performance requirements for biological indicators
• Helps deliver BI results often before a patient leaves the surgical suite

ConFirm® Mail-In Sterilizer Monitoring System is a biological indicator that are the most accepted means of sterilization monitoring. They directly determine whether the most resistant microorganisms are present. Because spores used in BIs are more resistant and present in greater numbers than the common microbial contaminants found on patient-care equipment. A passed BI test, which confirms no spore growth, indicates other potential pathogens in the load have been killed.

•Results available in just 24 hours
•Compatible with dry heat, chemical, EtO and steam sterilizers
•Check results online in 24 on secure, confidential web site
•Complimentary reminder service provides either a fax or email alert notification of a missed test date
•Third party documentation of test results provides a tangible record when proof of testing must be provided
•Highly resistant dual-species bacterial spores provide the most reliable method of testing for an effective sterilization cycle
•US Food and Drug Administration cleared
