Description
Its Purpose:
The purpose of the 3M Attest Auto-Reader 390 Incubator Biological Indicator is to monitor and verify the effectiveness of sterilization processes in healthcare facilities. The indicator is used in conjunction with a sterilization process, such as steam sterilization or gas plasma sterilization, to ensure that the sterilization process has effectively killed all microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and spores. The indicator contains a biological indicator (BI) culture that is specifically designed to be sensitive to the type of sterilization process used, and the device’s Auto-Reader 390 incubator reads the BI culture and displays results in a clear and concise manner. The indicator helps healthcare facilities ensure the safety and efficacy of their sterilization processes, protecting patients and healthcare workers from the potential spread of infections.
