ConFirm Rapid Read 20 Minute Biological Indicator

The ConFirm Rapid Read 20 Minute self-contained biological indicators can determine efficacy of commonly used steam sterilization cycles within 20 minutes when incubated in the ConFirm Rapid Read BI Reader. The compact, eight-well, tabletop incubator incubates and automatically reads the ConFirm Rapid Read 20 Biological Indicator (BI) and provides the results on its LCD display, eliminating the need to interpret results.

• 20-minute incubation time provides fast results and quick instrument turnaround.
• No interpretation of the biological indicators needed as the incubator automatically provides results.
• The LCD display screen on the incubator lists important incubator information, allows for adjustments in language and volume, displays remaining incubation time and final results once incubation is complete
• The incubator 8 well design provides ample space for testing multiple sterilizers and alternate wells available as needed.
• The glass free BI design ensures staff safety and reduces potential for injury from broken glass.
• Post sterilization, a simple Twist & Flick activation of the purple media into the vial provides clear visual indication that media is present and reduces the potential of contamination from "over activated" vials, eliminating the need of a separate activator device.
• Each BI has a wraparound label that identifies the lot number and expiration date and is printed with a process indicator to distinguish between processed and unprocessed BIs.
• The biological indicators consist of a plastic vial inoculated with highly resistant
• Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores and a specialized media sealed within the cap.
