The SporView Rapid Read Biological Indicator SteamPlus Test Pack is intended for routine monitoring and sterilizer qualification testing of dynamic-air-removal (pre-vacuum) steam sterilization cycles at 270°F (132°C) for 4 minutes exposure time.

The SporView Rapid Read Biological Indicator SteamPlus Test Pack is intended for routine monitoring and sterilizer qualification testing of dynamic-air-removal (pre-vacuum) steam sterilization cycles at 270°F (132°C) for 4 minutes exposure time. The test pack consists of multiple layers of paper cards with a SporView Rapid Read Biological Indicator, chemical process indicators and load record card. The load record card is used to record the detailed information from the sterilization cycle. The SporView Rapid Read Biological Indicator, cleared under 510(k) K172432, is composed of a polypropylene vial containing a spore carrier and media ampoule enclosed with a vented cap.

The SporView® Rapid Read Biological Indicator is intended to be used with the 3M Attest Auto-Reader to monitor the effectiveness of dynamic-air-removal (prevacum) steam sterilization cycles of 4 minutes at 132°C. The SporView Rapid Read Biological Indicator provides a final fluorescent result in 3 hours. An optional pH color change is observed after 48 hours.

The SporView Rapid Read Biological Indicator is a self-contained biological indicator designed to be used with the 3M Attest 390 auto-reader to qualify or routinely challenge dynamic-airremoval (pre-vacuum) steam sterilization cycles of 4 minutes at 270°F (132°C). The SporView Rapid Read Biological Indicator is composed of a polypropylene vial containing a spore carrier and media ampoule enclosed with a vented cap. Similar to the predicate device, 3M's 1292 Rapid Read-Out Biological Indicator cleared under 510(k)s K090569 and K926364, the subject device contains ≥ 105 viable spore population of G. stearothermophilus. It utilizes the a-glucosidase system, which is generated naturally within growing G. stearothermophilus. A successful steam sterilization cycle will result in no growth of G. stearothermophilus. A failure in the sterilization cycle creates a fluorescence change, which is detected upon incubation in the 3M 390 Attest Auto-reader. This provides an enzymatic result in 3 hours to indicate a steam sterilization process failure. The biological indicator will also detect the presence of G. stearothermophilus organism by a visual color change reaction. Biochemical activity of the orqanism will produce acid by-products that cause the media to change color after 48 hours. A visual pH color change after 48 hours also indicates a steam sterilization process failure.
