Operation Note: refer to the instructions for use supplied with your biological indicators for information on processing, incubation, interpretation of results, and using positive controls. When the incubator has reached the configured temperature, the actual temperature of the incubator will be shown on the LED display, indicating that the unit is ready to accept biological indicators. - Page 8 Observe the color of the growth medium in the BI at regular intervals during incubation. A color change to yellow during the incubation time indicates bacterial growth (positive test). If the incubation time expires and no color change to yellow is observed, this indicates a negative test. Caution: if a positive control does not grow, do not use the remaining units from the box and contact your dealer immediately.
