Cfull rapid biological indicator is a self‑contained biological indicator specifically designed for rapid and reliable qualification testing and routine monitoring of steam sterilization processes when used in conjunction with the Cfull Auto‑reader.
Working principle
The self‑contained design includes a carrier with spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus and a media ampoule containing bacteriological media. The spore carrier and media ampoule are contained in a plastic vial topped with a brown cap. A chemical process indicator which changes from pink to light brown or darker upon exposure to steam is located on the top of the cap.
After processing, the biological indicator is activated and incubated in the Auto-reader. A final negative reading after the specified incubation period indicates an acceptable sterilization process.
