Biological indicators provide the best assurance of sterility by challenging the sterilizer with quantifiable,
highly resistant spores. Biological indicators are used for load control monitoring which is the process by
which a load is monitored and released based on the result of a biological indicator (BI) in a test pack.
3M Attest 1262 or 1262E (Outside of U.S. only)Biological Indicators for steam. The self-contained (BI)
for 121C (250F) gravity/132C (270F) vacuum-assisted steam cycles consist of a Bacillus stearothermophilus
spore strip; sealed glass ampule with growth medium and a bromocresol purple pH indicator system; brown
color-coded cap with holes for sterilant penetration and a hydrophobic filter as a bacterial barrier, and
a chemical indicator on the label that changes from rose to brown when processed.
After sterilization, the vial is 'crushed' to join the growth media with the processed spore strip. The BI is
incubated for 48 hours for a visual change readout. A color change to yellow indicates surviving spores and
a positive result.
