FAQs of Biological Indicator for ETO:
Q: How does the biological indicator verify ETO sterilization efficacy?
A: The indicator uses a specified population of Bacillus atrophaeus spores to assess whether the ETO sterilization process effectively destroys microbial life. After exposure, the color change from purple to yellow indicates a failed sterilization process, thereby confirming process efficacy when no color change occurs.
Q: What is the process for using this biological indicator in ETO sterilizers?
A: Simply place the indicator inside the ETO sterilizer along with the items to be sterilized. After sterilization, incubate the indicator for 48 hours. If the color remains purple, sterilization was successful; a yellow color signals sterilization failure.
Q: When should I check the indicator for results after incubation?
A: Results should be checked after the standard 48-hour incubation period. The visual colorimetric change provides an easy assessment with no instrument required for interpretation.
Q: Where can this biological indicator be used?
A: This indicator is suitable for use in hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, and any setting requiring ETO sterilization verification.
Q: What benefits does this indicator offer over other monitoring methods?
A: It provides highly reliable results with few false positives, requires no specialized equipment, delivers clear visual feedback, and is compliant with international ISO 11138 standards for biological monitoring.
Q: How reliable is the indicator for ETO sterilization monitoring?
A: The indicator ensures high reliability thanks to the use of ATCC 9372 spores and rigorous compliance with ISO standards, making it ideal for critical validation and routine monitoring.
