About Us : Technology : Sterilization Biological Indicator

3M Attest Biological Monitoring System

BIDC takes an additional infection control and sterilizations is of top priority. In addition to having using sterilization machines for the sterilization of instruments and equipments, BIDC uses an advance Biological Sterilization Indicator Verification System called 3M Attest to monitor, test and verify the effectiveness of our sterilization efforts and processes in ensuring patient safety.

The 3M Attest sterilization is a proven and reliable system with a 20 year product history to verify the effectiveness of sterilization efforts because having simply having pressure-steam machines or autoclaves does not garanteed total sterilization.

Biological indicators are the only method that indicates the sterilization process was effective and the spores were killed. A nonpathogenic but highly resistant spore, Geobacillus sterothermophilus is used to provide a maximum challenge to the steam sterilization process.

Benefits of the Attest system includes:

• Self-contained biological indicators.
• Design provides a maximum challenge to various steam sterilization cycles.
• A spore burden beyond the average bioburden (germ count) provides an extra margin of safety.
• Optimized media promote rapid growth of spores.
• Definitive color change of the media indicates sterilization process ineffectiveness.
• Quick verification time of 24 hours (1261) or 48 hours (1262) versus one-week mail-in services.
