SteriTestTM steam biological indicators for monitoring steam sterilization consist of a thermoplastic vial and a brown cap, a crushable glass ampoule with tryptic soy broth (TSB) modified with pH indicator, and a disc inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores.
STEAMPlus™ Class 5 Integrators are used with steam sterilization cycles to provide a distinct pass or fail result, which allows for the release of all non-implant loads before the results of the spore test are received. Does not replace the routine use of a biological indicator.
