For steam sterilization, the biological indicator typically contains Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores. This microorganism is known for its high resistance to heat and is commonly used to challenge the steam sterilization process. If the spores are not killed, it indicates that the sterilization process was insufficient.
By using Sterifast steam biological indicators, healthcare facilities can ensure that sterilization cycles have been properly carried out, providing confidence in the sterility of medical instruments and equipment.
Sterifast Biological indicators are essential test systems used to monitor the effectiveness of sterilization processes. They contain viable microorganisms with a defined resistance to specific sterilization methods, such as steam sterilization, and help verify whether the necessary conditions were met to kill a specified number of microorganisms, ensuring that sterilization was achieved.
