Celerity™ HP Biological Indicators

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Celerity 5 HP Biological Indicator (LCB052) is a 5-minute rapid-read, single-use biological indicator designed to monitor vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) sterilization processes. Also available is the Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicator (LCB044) with a 20-minute incubation time, both designed to help keep your operating room (OR) on schedule.

How the Celerity HP Biological Indicators Work

The biological indicator is self-contained, reducing the risk of contamination and false positives. Each biological indicator (BI) vial is inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus bacterial spores and contains a defined media within the vial cap. The vial cap label features a process indicator for hydrogen peroxide sterilization.

After a VH2O2 sterilization cycle, the process indicator on the vial cap will provide immediate confirmation of processing. The rapid readout biological indicator (BI) is activated using a twist and flick motion and does not require a separate activator. Upon activation, the BI is incubated using the Celerity™ Incubator. A negative response from the incubator indicates that conditions for sterilization were achieved.

Why the Celerity HP Biological Indicators?

Designed for Speed and Ease of Use

The Celerity HP Biological Indicator provides rapid results in as little as five minutes, so you can have confidence when releasing loads per facility policy after VH2O2 sterilization.

Increased Productivity

The Celerity HP BI expedites cycle monitoring in a V-PRO or STERRAD™ Low-Temperature Sterilizer*¹. Monitor cycles with up to 50 lbs. of devices in less than 50 minutes when used in the Non Lumen Cycle of the V-PRO maX or maX 2 Sterilizers.
