Frequently asked questions
Does this pack provide a direct measure of lethality?
Yes, unlike indirect proxies, this challenge pack utilizes viable microorganisms to provide a precise, direct measurement of sterilization lethality, ensuring the highest standards of safety.
Is the 24-minute turnaround time verified?
Yes. When used with compatible 3M Attest 490/490H Auto-readers (running software version 4.2.7 or higher), this pack delivers verified biological indicator results in only 24 minutes, significantly optimizing instrument throughput.
What steam sterilization cycles is this compatible with?
This challenge pack is specifically engineered for dynamic-air-removal steam sterilization cycles, including both pre-vacuum and SFPP (Steam Flush Pressure Pulse) methods.
Does it have a secondary way to confirm steam exposure?
Yes, the external label features a built-in process indicator that provides immediate visual confirmation by shifting in color from yellow to brown upon exposure to steam.
What biological indicator is included in the pack?
Each pack contains one 3M Attest Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1492V, which is fully compliant with rigorous ISO and FDA performance requirements.
What is the recommended temperature for processing?
This indicator is designed for use in steam sterilization cycles within the temperature range of 270°F to 275°F (132°C to 135°C).
How is the challenge pack constructed?
The pack is built for consistency using multi-layer medical index cards that are partially die-cut to securely house the biological indicator, all enclosed in high-quality sterilization wrap.
Are these factory new products?
Yes, this is a factory new product supplied directly from the manufacturer, ensuring full reliability and adherence to clinical standards.
Is it easy to identify in a busy environment?
Absolutely. The packaging is designed with a strictly clinical and functional aesthetic, featuring clear, bold branding and prominent technical specifications to ensure ease of identification in high-paced medical settings.
Does this support high-speed infection prevention protocols?
It is an essential tool for infection prevention specifically engineered for facilities that require high-speed, reliable monitoring to maintain efficient instrument turnaround times while adhering to strict safety protocols.
