Browne TST Control
The TST Control Cycle Verification Indicators provide the most specific information of any chemical indicator available. All Indicators have been calibrated to perform to the predefined parameters of a particular process, helping the end users detect process failure by confirming that all of the predetermined cycle parameters have occurred at point of placement in each tray, pack or pouch. All conform to ISO 11140-1 Class 6 Indicators and manufactured to ISO 9001:2000 & ISO 13485:2003. The Des-Check range provides an accurate, convenient method of routine control for moist heat processes. TST Control Cycle Verification (Emulating) Indicators allows the user to single out individual trays, packs or pouches that were not exposed to sufficient sterilisation conditions. TST Control Duplex Label and TST Control Multi-Part Label can create a direct link between the patient, the instruments and in pack evidence of an effective sterilisation cycle.

Verify Self-Contained Biological Indicators
The Verify Self-Contained Biological Indicators for steam and EO contain both Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus artophaeus spores and eliminate the need for aseptic transfer. They can be used in steam 121C (250F) gravity (including flash 132C (270F)), 132C (270F) prevacumm, 132C (270F) gravity Flash 132C (270F) prevacumm cycle and ethylene oxide sterilisation processes including 100% ethylene oxide applications. With a sturdy construction which protects the glass media ampoule from premature breakages and easy to use activator, the final read is 24 hour incubation for steam and 48 hour incubation for EO. |

Verify Steam Integrator Strips
The Verify Steam Integrator Strips are for use in all steam sterilisation cycles and are correlated to biological indicator inactivation. The Chemical Integrators monitor all critical parameters of steam sterilisation (exposure time, temperature and steam quality). Placed in every sterilised pack, the Integrator confirms that all sterilisation conditions were met within the pack that would have inactivated a biological indicator. |

Verify Self-Contained Biological Indicators (SCBIs)
The Verify Self-Contained Biological Indicator System is designed to monitor steam and/or ethylene oxide (EO) sterilisation processes. Each Verify SCBI consists of a plastic cap and vial containing a disc carrying Geobacillus stearothermophilus (steam) (GST) and Bacillus atrophaeus (EO) (BA) spores and an ampule of bacterial culture medium combined with a pH indicator. In addition, these biological indicators are available in single species E6 populations. A colour change from blue to yellow after activation and incubation gives unmistakable evidence of microbial growth. The chemical process indicator printed on each Verify SCBI vial label shows that minimal process parameters were attained. Each lot of Verify SCBIs is produced under tightly controlled conditions and thoroughly tested to ensure compliance with STERISs strict quality requirements. |

Verify Process Challenge Devices
Verify Process Challenge Devices are available in both ethylene oxide (EO) and steam test packs. Process challenge devices are critical in simulating worst-case conditions when performing cycle development. The Verify EO and Steam Test Packs were developed to represent a greater resistance than the AAMI 16 towel biological test pack. The Verify Test Packs utilise the Verify SCBIs as well as a chemical indicator or record card. Each box includes 20 test packs and 5 controls. |

Spordex and Spordi Strips and Discs
Spordex and Spordi Strips and Discs are specifically designed for determining the effectiveness of steam, ethylene oxide (EO), dry heat, or vaporised hydrogen peroxide decontamination procedures. Each strip and disc is produced from a special filter paper or polymer substrate inoculated with bacterial spores. Biological Indicators with known resistances and spore populations ensure consistent sterility monitoring. Spordex Strips and Discs are available with either Bacillus atrophaeus (BA) for ethylene oxide or dry heat cycles, or Geobacillus stearothermophilus (GST) for saturated steam or vaporised hydrogen peroxide cycles. Spordi Strips and Discs are inoculated with both B.atrophaeus and G. stearothermophilus. This minimises stocking problems because they can be used to check the efficacy of steam, EO and dry heat sterilisers. Individual Spordex and Spordi Strips are sealed in clearly identified sterilisable glassine packages. |

Spordex Suspensions
Spordex Suspensions contain bacterial spores in a liquid suspension. It is manufactured to
meet the same rigorous standards as Spordex/ Spordi Strips and Discs and contains no extraneous contamination that could affect performance. A certificate of analysis containing population and D-value is furnished with each lot. The suspension is available with spores of Bacillus atrophaeus (BA) for ethylene oxide (EO) gas and dry heat cycles, or Geobacillus stearothermophilus (GST) for saturated steam or vaporised hydrogen peroxide cycles. Spordex Suspension is sold in 10 mL vials (approximately 100 product inoculations), each furnished in an easy-to-use kit including a 1.0 mL disposable sterile syringe and instruction pamphlet. |
