3M Attest Rapid Steam BI Test Pack with Type 5 Integrator
A pre-assembled steam test pack combining a rapid biological indicator and a Type 5 chemical integrator to monitor steam sterilization cycle performance.
The 3M Attest Rapid Steam Biological Indicator Test Pack with Type 5 CI is a pre-assembled steam challenge pack built to monitor both dynamic air removal cycles at 270 degrees Fahrenheit for four minutes and gravity displacement cycles at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for thirty minutes. Combining a biological indicator with a Type 5 chemical integrator in the same pack gives sterile processing staff two layers of confirmation from a single test run, since the integrator delivers an immediate visual result while the biological indicator confirms actual spore kill after incubation.
Each pack contains one Attest Rapid Steam Biological Indicator with a brown cap and a three hour readout, along with one Attest Steam Chemical Integrator, Type 5, reducing the preparation work needed for routine sterilizer testing. This kind of combined test pack is used for scheduled efficacy testing, qualification of new or repaired sterilizers, and periodic verification runs in hospitals, day surgery centres and sterile processing departments that need documented assurance across both major steam cycle types their sterilizers run.
Facilities should follow the manufacturer instructions noted for correct handling of this pack.
