Sterilization indicators and biological indicators
 
Sterilization indicators and biological indicators sterilization refer to the method of using appropriate physical or chemical means to kill or remove live microorganisms in an article, thereby reducing the probability of survival of live microorganisms to the desired level of aseptic assurance.
 
Biological indicator is a kind of special living microbial products, which can be used to confirm the performance of sterilization equipment, the verification of sterilization procedures, the monitoring of sterilization effect in the production process, etc. Biological indicators used in sterilization verification are generally bacterial spores.
 
The form of a biological indicator
 
A certain number of spores are attached to the inert carrier, such as filter paper strips, glass slides, stainless steel, plastic products, etc.
 
The spore suspension was sealed in the ampoule.
 
Assured Sterility Level
 
The sterility of an item can only be expressed relative to the probability of living microorganisms in the item falling to an acceptable level, the SAL(Sterility Assurance Level).
 
Pharmacopoeias Europe and the United States require that Sal should not be greater than one part per million as the sterility guarantee of the final sterilized product, that is, Sal ≤10-6

Reference Standard For Seal Verification of Sterilization Pouches For Medical Devices

With the increasing demand for  sterilization pouches  of medical devices, quality and safety inspection have become more and more stringent. sterilization pouches of medical devices (blister box +  tyvek roll  material,  sterilization paper bag , etc.) as a form of packaging directly in contact with the device and used to block microorganisms. No matter what form of packaging, it has two characteristics, which can meet the sterilization operation and remain sterile until the transportation conditions are used. Therefore, relevant departments began to focus on the review requirements of sterile packaging and make specific requirements for its performance and quality.   As we all know, GB/ t19633-2005 "packaging of ultimately sterilized medical devices" is one of the authoritative standards in the current sterile packaging standards. It is equivalent to iso11607-2003 "packaging of ultimately sterilized medical devices". Clarify the basic performance req...

Definition And Use Of Sterilization Or Chemical Indicator

  Sterilization indicator  tape and label   Definition: Wrinkle paper or label paper as the base material, coated with color-changing ink as sterilization indicator, back coated with pressure sensitive adhesive.  The indicating tape used for chemical monitoring outside the pressure steam  sterilization package , when reaching certain sterilization conditions 121℃, 20 minutes or 132℃, 3 minutes, the chemical indicating stripe on the back base of wrinkled paper will change from light yellow to black.   USES:   1. Used to mark whether the package has been treated by pressure steam sterilization process.   2. If the discoloration is uneven or incomplete, it may indicate that the package has not been sterilized in accordance with the conditions.   3, wrap the parcel (if no sealing tape is used).   4, sterilization information can be recorded (operator, sterilization period, item name, pot, etc.).   Chemical instruction card for...

Correctly Identify Discoloration of Chemical Indicator Cards

  01   Sterilization pouches   requirements   Why packaging   After a proper sterilization process, the apparatus in the sterilization room should be sterile, but when the apparatus is removed from the sterilization room, the outdoor air contains dust particles and microorganisms   If the device is not packaged, it will soon be contaminated   In addition, sterile items usually need to be stored for a period of time and sent to the department in need, so the equipment must be properly packaged to prevent re-contamination   Sterilization packaging  management requirements   Packaging purpose:   Extend the effect of sterilization to ensure that sterile equipment and articles can remain sterile before use.   Strict packaging requirements:   Surgical instruments use closed packaging method, generally 2 layers of packaging materials.  Closed type packaging application of special tape, tight sealing package.  ...
