IT26-C Chemical Integrator (within the challenge device) The migration is visible through a zone marked ACCEPT or REJECT, thus indicating whether sterilization conditions were met. Integration condition is calibrated against the kill time of a 106 G. stearothermophilus ATCC 7953 spores€™ population, calculated in BIER (Biological Indicator Evaluator Resistometer). Conditions: saturated steam at 121 °C, 128 °C, 135 °C.

BT222 Super Rapid Self-contained Biological Indicator (within the challenge device): ‰¥106 G. stearothermophilus ATCC 7953 spores per vial in paper carrier. Glass ampoule with growth indicator medium.

Label with chemical indicator line printed with Steam reactive ink (Color change: pink to brown)
