Instructions for Use: Bionova Ultra Rapid Biological Indicators

1. Labeling SCBI:

   • Identify SCBI with sterilizer number, load number, and processing date.

2. Packaging and Placement:

   • Pack SCBI with materials for sterilization, placing it in less exposed areas.

3. Sterilization Process:

   • Carry out standard sterilization procedures.

4. Post-Sterilization Steps:

   • After sterilization, open the door, wait five minutes, and carefully remove SCBI.
   • Caution: Wear safety glasses and gloves.
   • Warning: Avoid excessive handling to prevent glass ampoule bursting. Let SCBI cool to room temperature.

5. Process Indicator Check:

   • Inspect the Process Indicator on SCBI label. Brown color indicates exposure to steam.
   • Note: Color change does not confirm sterility; further checks are needed if no change.

6. Ampoule Crushing and Incubation:

   • Seal the tube's lid and crush the ampoule using an ampoule crusher.
   • Shake the tube to soak the spore carrier completely.
   • Place SCBI in the incubator.
   • Important: Use a non-sterilized SCBI as a positive control daily. Ensure both controls are from the same batch.

7. Incubation and Readout:

   • Incubate processed and positive control indicators for a maximum of 20 minutes at (60 ± 2) °C.
   • Note: Incubation should not exceed a 7-day period after sterilization.
   • Failure in sterilization is indicated by fluorescence detection.
   • Negative result if no fluorescence at 20 minutes.
   • Positive control must show positive fluorescence readout.
   • Record positive results and discard SCBI promptly as instructed.

• WARNING: Do not use SCBI to control sterilization processes other than those specified.
• WARNING: Place one or more SCBI in hard-to-reach areas to ensure complete chamber sterilization. Evaluate load configurations to identify and place SCBI in all such locations.
• WARNING: Do not reuse SCBI.
• WARNING: Do not reuse the sterilizer until the SCBI test result is negative.
