3M / Solventum Attest™ Biological Indicators & Sterilization Monitoring

A sterilizer cycle can look perfect on the printout and still fail to kill spores. That's why biological indicators (BIs) are used to directly monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes. Duraline Systems carries 3M Attest™ sterilization assurance products from Solventum, including biological indicators, test packs, chemical indicators and integrators, so dental offices, medical practices, surgery centers, laboratories and hospital sterile processing departments can monitor sterilization cycles with confidence.

Faster answers, faster instrument turnaround. 3M Attest™ BIs come in several readout speeds. Super Rapid indicators such as the 1491 (blue cap, gravity cycles) and 1492V (brown cap, pre-vacuum cycles) provide results in just 24 minutes when used with a compatible Attest™ Auto-reader. Rapid Readout options provide results in 1 to 3 hours, while conventional indicators such as the 1262 steam BI and 1264 EO BI support facilities using standard incubation.

Complete load monitoring in one place. Alongside the biological indicators, this collection includes:

• Pre-assembled BI test packs and challenge packs for routine load monitoring and sterilizer qualification
• Type 5 steam chemical integrators and Type 4 indicator strips for monitoring inside each pack
• Comply™ Bowie-Dick test packs for daily air-removal testing in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers
• EO chemical indicator strips for ethylene oxide sterilization monitoring
• Attest™ Auto-readers and compatible monitoring products for rapid biological indicator results

3M Attest™ sterilization monitoring solutions support multiple sterilization processes, including steam, ethylene oxide (EO) and vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2), with specific indicators designed for compatible sterilization cycles.

Cap colors help identify the intended sterilization process and indicator application. Because individual Attest™ products are designed for specific sterilization methods, cycle temperatures and exposure conditions, always check the individual product listing against your sterilizer and cycle before ordering.
