3M1276 Pack Test Attest Steam 25/cs 3M
- Biological indicators provide the best assurance of sterility by challenging the sterilizer with quantifiable, highly resistant spores. Biological indicators are used for load control monitoring which is the process by which a load is monitored and released based on the result of a biological indicator (BI) in a test pack. The 3M1276 is a pre-assembled, disposable test pack with an Attest 1262 (BI) positioned in a small package of porous substrate wrapped with a moisture impervious CSR wrap. A record keeping sheet with chemical indicator bar and space for recording load information and biological indicator results is included inside the pack at the point of placement of the BI. The pack is specifically designed to present a resistant challenge to the steam sterilization process as does the AAMI 16 towel pack. This pack is used to monitor 121 degree Celsius/250 degree Fahrenheit gravity and 132 degree Celsius/270 degree Fahrenheit vacuum-assisted cycles. The pack is too resistant to use in 121/250 gravity cycles for less than 30 minutes and 132/270 vacuum-assisted cycles for less than 4 minutes, or 132/270 gravity cycles.
