How to use
Place the ampoules in the autoclave – place in packaging as done with your utensils, generally, the center of the load and areas near the door are problematic.
Use 6 ampoules for autoclaves with more than one shelve.
Run the sterilization program.
After end cycle the ampoules need to cool down to room temperature.
Check the color line on the ampoule has changed from pink to brown (mean it has been exposed to steam).
Crush the ampoule by using the crushing-device or in the special hole placed on the top of the incubator. When the ampoule is broken, shake the ampoule to secure the fluid is divided. The spores are now in contact with the fluid and are able to grow, if the spores are still alive.
Place the ampoules in the incubator, Incubate the processed biological indicator and the indicator used as a positive control for a maximum of 24 hours between 55-62 ºC.
Readout should be carried out at convenient intervals of 10 hours. Color change of the growth indicator medium from purple to yellow means that a sterilization process failure has occurred.
