3M Attest Ethylene Oxide Biological Indicator, 1264-S
A sterile Attest biological indicator with a green cap, used to monitor ethylene oxide sterilization cycles and confirm effective microbial kill.
The Attest Ethylene Oxide Biological Indicator, catalog number 1264-S, is a green cap biological indicator used to monitor ethylene oxide sterilization cycles in facilities that rely on this sterilization method for heat or moisture sensitive items. The indicator is used by placing it alongside a load being sterilized and, after the cycle, incubating it to confirm whether the sterilization process achieved the microbial kill required, providing a direct biological check of cycle effectiveness rather than relying on physical parameters alone.
The listing describes it as appropriate for industrial sterilization, meaning Life Science applications, when verified by the end user, and notes it is compliant with the ISO 11138-1:2017 standard for biological indicators, giving facilities a recognised basis for its use in a quality programme. It is supplied sterile and is available in variants covering this model number, reflecting a single, straightforward configuration for this indicator type.
The listing also notes that this product is transitioning to the equivalent Solventum branded indicator, 1264-S. Laboratories and sterile processing departments running ethylene oxide cycles keep indicators like this in stock as part of routine cycle verification.
