3M Attest Steam Clear Challenge Pack
An easy-to-use preassembled steam sterilization test pack that lets staff inspect the biological and chemical indicators before and after processing without opening the pack. It supports dependable daily performance in clinical and procurement settings.
The 3M Attest Steam Clear Challenge Pack is designed to monitor four-minute 270°F (132°C), four-minute 273°F (134°C) and three-minute 275°F (135°C) dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization cycles, covering both pre-vacuum and steam flush pressure pulse processes. These preassembled test packs let sterile processing staff inspect the biological indicator and chemical integrator before and after processing without needing to open the pack, which helps maintain the integrity of the test setup while still allowing a visual check at each stage.
Combining a biological and chemical indicator in one easy-to-use pack simplifies routine steam sterilizer monitoring compared to assembling indicators separately for each test cycle. Sterile processing technicians use challenge packs like this on a regular basis as part of quality assurance protocols confirming that steam sterilizers are consistently achieving the conditions needed to sterilize instrument loads effectively.
Hospitals and central sterile supply departments running steam sterilization programs consume these packs at a steady rate, and distributors supplying sterile processing departments stock the Attest Steam Clear range as a core sterilization monitoring consumable.
