Applications
STEAM CONTROL is intended for the verification and daily monitoring of steam sterilization cycles in steam autoclaves.
- Daily control of steam sterilization cycles.
- Verification of steam autoclave sterilization processes.
- Microbiological monitoring using Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores.
- Routine sterilization process quality control in laboratory and healthcare environments.
Production and Quality Control
STEAM CONTROL is produced in accordance with ISO 11138. Quality controls are performed in the CPM BIER vessel.
These production and quality-control procedures support the product's intended use as a biological indicator for monitoring steam sterilization.
Why Use Biological Indicators?
Biological indicators are used to monitor sterilization processes by exposing resistant microorganisms or their spores to the sterilization cycle. The subsequent evaluation helps determine whether the process achieved the intended microbiological inactivation.
Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores are used in biological indicators designed for steam sterilization monitoring. STEAM CONTROL provides an indicator format intended for routine verification of steam autoclave cycles.
