Indications for Use
Terragene® Bionova® SCBI (BT95, BT96) is a self-contained biological indicator inoculated with a minimum of 10º viable Geobacillus stearothermophilus bacterial spores and is intended for monitoring the efficacy of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes in the following systems: - Sterrad® 100S Sterilization System. - Sterrad® 100NX Sterilization System (Standard and Express cycles). - V-Pro® maX Low Temperature Sterilization System (Non Lumen and Flexible cvcles). - Sterizone® VP4 Sterilizer ( cycle 1 ). - LowTem Crystal 120 Sterilizer (Standard cycle). BT95 has rapid readout at 2 hours at 60 ℃ while BT96 has super rapid readout at 30 minutes at 60 ℃. Terragene® Chemdye® (CD42) is a chemical process indicator intended for monitoring the efficacy of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes in the following systems: - Sterrad® 100S Sterilization System. - Sterrad® 100NX Sterilization System (Standard and Express cycles). - V-Pro® maX Low Temperature Sterilization System (Non Lumen, Lumen and Flexible cycles). - Sterizone® VP4 Sterilizer ( cycle 1 ). - LowTem Crystal 120 Sterilizer (Standard cycle). The chemical indicator changes from red to yellow to indicate that the conditions of the cycle have been met. Terragene® Cintape® CT40 is a chemical process indicator tape intended for monitoring the efficacy of vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes in the following systems: - Sterrad® 100S Sterilization System. - Sterrad® 100NX Sterilization System (Standard and Express cycles). - V-Pro® maX Low Temperature Sterilization System (Non Lumen and Flexible cycles). - Sterizone® VP4 Sterilizer ( cycle 1 ). - LowTem Crystal 120 Sterilizer (Standard cycle). The indicating tape changes from purple to green when exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
Device Story
Device suite monitors vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization efficacy. Includes self-contained biological indicators (BT95, BT96) containing Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores; chemical process indicator (CD42); and chemical process indicator tape (CT40). Biological indicators provide rapid (2 hours) or super-rapid (30 minutes) readout at 60°C to confirm spore inactivation. Chemical indicators provide visual color change (red to yellow for CD42; purple to green for CT40) upon exposure to sterilization conditions. Used in clinical settings to verify sterilization cycle performance. Healthcare providers observe color changes or biological readout to ensure sterilization efficacy, directly impacting clinical decision-making regarding instrument sterility and patient safety.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Biological indicators contain Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores. Chemical indicators utilize color-changing reactive chemistry. Indicators are designed for vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization environments. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization efficacy in healthcare facilities using specified sterilization systems (Sterrad, V-Pro, Sterizone, LowTem). Applicable to professional and over-the-counter use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Biological sterilization process indicator: A device intended for use by a health care provider to accompany products being sterilized through a sterilization procedure and to monitor adequacy of sterilization. The device consists of a known number of microorganisms, of known resistance to the mode of sterilization, in or on a carrier and enclosed in a protective package. Subsequent growth or failure of the microorganisms to grow under suitable conditions indicates the adequacy of sterilization. Physical/chemical sterilization process indicator: A device intended for use by a health care provider to accompany products being sterilized through a sterilization procedure and to monitor one or more parameters of the sterilization process. The adequacy of the sterilization conditions as measured by these parameters is indicated by a visible change in the device.
