Page 17: Biological Testing Protocols
Hospitals, and the Centers for Disease Control recommend biological indicator tests to verify the sterilizer’s performance. CPAC Equipment, Inc. recommends that a biological indicator and the recommended test load of 2.6 lbs for model 200 and 4.2 lbs for model 300 be used on a weekly basis or every 25 cycles, whichever comes first, to test the effectiveness of the sterilizer. - Page 18 demonstrate that the thermal process is providing all conditions necessary for sterilization to occur, biological indicator strips containing 6 Logs of Bacillus atrophaeus spores are used for periodic process validation. B. atrophaeus spores are rated most thermal-resistant in the hierarchy of resistance over all other RNA/DNA-containing microbial categories (i.e., viruses, vegetative bacteria, fungi, parasites, and mycobacterium).
- Page 19 Testing for the Steri-DENT Sterilizer” (page 15-16). Procedure: 1. Prepare the sterilizer per the warmup instructions. 2. Load the instruments into Steri-DENT self-sealing nylon pouches or other CPAC pouches recommended for dry heat. If not pouching, layer instruments in the instrument tray with no instrument overlap.
- Page 20 8. Record the parametric operating conditions (date, times, and temperatures) of the test cycle in five (5) minute intervals throughout the test and place into the Biological Test Data Manual. 9. When the cycle ends, immediately and carefully remove the spore test strip for culturing.
- Page 21 These protocols will assist the customer and CPAC Equipment technicians in determining the cause of the spore test failure, and determining whether the sterilizer should be taken out of service and returned to CPAC Equipment for further evaluation.
- Page 22 Submit spore strip to the contracted laboratory for analysis or perform on-site analysis. 5. If the second spore test results in a failure, call CPAC Equipment (800-828-6011) and ask for a service technician to discuss the problem and to determine a cause for failure.
