Frequently asked questions
Does this pack ensure rapid sterilization verification?
Yes, this pack is designed for efficiency. It delivers biological indicator results in just 24 minutes when used with compatible 3M Attest Auto-readers, which significantly helps in accelerating instrument turnaround time.
Are both biological and chemical indicators included?
Yes, each pack is a comprehensive monitoring solution that includes:
- 3M Attest Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicator (1492V) for direct lethality measurement.
- 3M Comply SteriGage Type 5 chemical integrator for immediate process verification.
Is this suitable for pre-vacuum steam cycles?
Absolutely. This challenge pack is specifically engineered for qualification testing of dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization processes, including both pre-vacuum and SFPP cycles.
What temperature range is this system optimized for?
The Attest Super Rapid 5 Steam-Plus Challenge Pack is optimized for performance within a temperature range of 270°F to 275°F (132°C to 135°C).
Does it require specific Auto-reader software?
To achieve the 24-minute readout capability, these packs must be used with 3M Attest 490 or 490H Auto-readers running software version 4.2.7 or greater.
How do I interpret the chemical indicator result?
The chemical indicator provides a clear, immediate visual result. You simply look for the color change within the designated bar zone to verify that the sterilization parameters have been successfully met.
Are record-keeping materials provided?
Yes, each challenge pack includes a dedicated record-keeping sheet to assist your facility in maintaining accurate logs for sterilization quality assurance.
Is this pack designed for high-volume clinics?
Yes, its design is ideal for Sterile Processing Departments, as well as dental and surgical clinics that require a high volume of instrument turnover without compromising strict safety protocols.
Does the system provide high-integrity test results?
Yes, by integrating a biological indicator—the most stringent test of sterilization lethality—with a Type 5 chemical integrator, the system ensures a robust and reliable verification of your sterilization processes.
What is the primary benefit of using a Type 5 indicator?
As a Type 5 chemical integrator, this component provides immediate and highly reliable verification that the critical parameters of the sterilization cycle, such as time and temperature, have been achieved before instruments are released for use.
