Chemdye® CD42 Process Indicators (Type 1 according to ISO 11140-1:2014 standard) are single-use chemical indicators that consist of plastic strips printed with indicator ink. These indicators have been designed to monitor Plasma or Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide sterilization processes within loads, ensuring an adequate exposure to the sterilizing agent during the sterilization process and allowing to distinguish between processed and unprocessed items. Innovative highly sensitive red ink was developed to turn to yellow when the indicator is exposed to Plasma or Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide. Endpoint condition: 50 ºC, 6 minutes, 2.3 mg/l H2O2. Indicators 100% free of toxic heavy metals. Instructions For Use: Place a Chemdye® CD42 Process Indicator within each package, bag or tray that will be sterilized by Plasma or Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide. In rigid containers, place the indicator in every corner, or at least two diagonally opposite corners, to ensure that the sterilization agent has reached the most inaccessible areas.

IT26-C / Moving front Chemical Integrator to monitor Steam sterilization processes between 118°C and 138°C. Control of Steam sterilization processes between 118 °C and 138 °C. Characteristics: Type 5 Integrating Indicator (according to ISO 11140-1). Size: 52 mm x 21 mm. Chemical Integrator consists of a paper wick and a steam and temperature sensitive chemical pellet contained in a paper/film/foil laminate. The chemical pellet melts and migrates as a dark bar along the paper wick. The migration is visible through a zone marked ACCEPT or REJECT, thus indicating whether sterilization conditions were met. The extent of migration depends on steam quality, time, and temperature. The ACCEPT result is reached when a theoretical spore population reaches its kill time, indicating integration condition has been reached. This condition is calibrated with the kill time of 106 Geobacillus stearothermophilus spore population, calculated in BIER (Biological Indicator Evaluator Resistometer). Conditions: saturated steam at 121 °C, 128 °C, 135 °C. Optionally, the readout of the chemical indicator can be done using Trazanto Automatic Quality Control and Traceability System (see instructions for use in device´s manual). Instructions For Use: Carefully open the package and remove only the number of indicators needed. Reseal the package tightly. Place a Integron® IT26-C indicator in each pack, peel pouch, container system or tray to be steam sterilized in the most inaccessible area to sterilizing agent. Perform de sterilization cycle. After the sterilization process has finished, the dark bar should have reached the ACCEPT zone. If the dark bar has not reached the ACCEPT zone, a REJECT result is indicated and the items in the pack, peel pouch, container system, or tray were not exposed to proper steam sterilization conditions. These items should be reprocessed according to established procedures and a new IT26-C has to be used. Despite this, regarding cycle integration parameters, this process can be considered as accepted. In case the IT26-C indicator shows a damp appearance after the sterilization process, Terragene® recommend planning an equipment´s maintenance.

2 level chemical integrator for Ethylene Oxide sterilization processes. One-side laminated strips. Metals free. Integron® IT12 Chemical Integrators (Type 5 according to ISO 11140-1:2014 standard) are single-use two level chemical indicators that consist of paper strips laminated on the back side and printed with indicator ink. They have been designed for monitoring Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization processes. The integration level contains a purple/brown ink which was developed to turn to green when a theoretical spore population reaches its kill time, thus indicating that the SAFE condition has been met. Level 1 – Red: Exposure level. Indicator ink turns yellow to indicate exposition to the process, but does not ensure that the variables required to achieve the integration condition have been achieved (UNSAFE condition). Level 2 – Purple / brown: Integration level. Indicator ink turns green to indicate that the integration condition indicated in the quality certificate has been achieved. This condition consists of the kill time of a theoretical 106 Bacillus atrophaeus spore population, calculated in a BIER (Biological Indicator Evaluator Resistometer), and is called SAFE condition. Indicators 100% free of toxic heavy metals. Instructions For Use: Place a Integron® IT12 Chemical Integrator along with the material to be sterilized in a suitable package according to the recommended sterilization techniques. Place the indicators in those areas of most difficult access to the sterilizing agent. Perform the sterilization cycle. After the sterilization process has finished and evacuation/ventilation process is over, you may:               A. Remove the integrator indicator taking the necessary precaution to avoid                          contact with the remaining sterilizing agent.              B. Ventilate the load together with the integrator indicator and then perform                        the reading. Analyze the results. If the SAFE integration condition has been reached, the        sterilization process has been effective. Specifications: Process: Ethylene Oxide Initial Color: Level 1 Red, Level 2 purple-brown Final Color: Level 1 Yellow, level 2 Green Indicator Type: Type 5 chemical indicator Regulations: ISO 11140-1 More Info About This Product: Color Chart

Holder for cleaning and thermodisinfection Indicators. Stainless Steel re-usable holder of great resistance and durability. Base: 32 mm wide, 72 mm long, pin at the back side. ISO/TS 15883-5. Designed to hold Chemdye® CDWA and Integron® IT27W indicators in order to perform routine control of cleaning and thermal disinfection processes in automatic machines. Characteristics: Chrome plating SUS304 grade stainless steel re-usable holder of great resistance and durability. Base: 32 mm wide, 72.5 mm long, pin at the back side. Basket: 32 mm wide, 37 mm long, 0.5 mm thick. The holder is designed to mimic the cleaning challenges posed by a large process load during the washing cycle and can be fixed on the tray, which allows reproducible location of the cleaning indicator in the washer-disinfector. When CDWA4 is placed within the holder, half of the test soil is obscured, thus simulating the joint of a surgical instrument, with water stream hitting it indirectly. The other half of the test soil is covered by a mesh, thus posing a difficulty for water stream to reach it, mimicking shadowed or occluded surfaces. The new design of CDWAH optimizes the control of the washer disinfectors ability to force water and detergent into and onto the test soil.

Super Rapid Self-contained Biological Indicator for Steam sterilization processes. Geobacillus stearothermophilus (ATCC 7953) 10^6 spores per vial. Readout: 1 hour. An optional visual pH color change confirmation could be made after 48 hours of incubation. If sterilization process has not been successful, culture medium will change to a greenish color first, and then to yellow during incubation at 60 ºC, thus showing the presence of living spores. If sterilization process is successful culture medium will remain purple after the incubation process. 7-day readout is optional and not intended to be routinely performed; it is an initial validation of the 1 hour-reading. Fluorescence results may be compared to the 7-day visual reading. Note: if 7-day readout is performed, a humidified environment will be required to avoid medium to dry out. D-Value: Not lower than 1.5 minutes at 121 ºC. Another D-value is informed at 132 ºC and at 135 ºC. Z-Value is informed. Instructions For Use: Identify the Terragene® Bionova® BT222 SCBI by writing the sterilizer number (in case of having more than one), load number and processing date on the label. Pack the SCBI along with materials to be sterilized in an appropriate package according to recommended sterilization practices. Place the package in those areas which are considered most inaccessible for the sterilizing agent (e.g., the center of the load and areas near the door). Sterilize as usual. After the sterilization process has finished, open the sterilizer door, wait five minutes and remove the SCBI from the package. CAUTION: Wear safety glasses and gloves when removing the Terragene® Bionova® BT222 SCBI from the sterilized package. WARNING: Do not crush or handle the SCBI excessively, since this might cause the glass ampoule to burst. Let the SCBI cool down until it reaches room temperature. Check the Process Indicator on SCBI label. A color change to brown indicates that the SCBI has been exposed to Steam. IMPORTANT: This color change does not evidence the process effectiveness to achieve sterility. If the Process Indicator color has not changed, check the sterilization process. Press the lid to seal the tube. Crush the ampoule contained in the SCBI with an individual ampoule crusher or with the ampoule crusher placed within the incubator´s incubation area. Then shake the tube down vigorously, with movements similar to those performed to lower the temperature in a mercury thermometer, until the medium reaches the base of the tube and soaks the spore carrier entirely. Finally, place the SCBI in the incubator. Incubate the processed indicator and the positive control indicator in the appropriate Terragene® Bionova® Auto-Reader Incubators for a maximum of 1 hour at (60 ± 2) °C for super rapid readout.

Rapid Self-contained Biological Indicator for Ethylene Oxide sterilization processes. Bacillus atrophaeus (ATCC 9372) 10^6 spores per vial. Readout: 4 hours. An optional visual pH color change confirmation could be made after 48 hours of incubation. If sterilization process has not been successful, culture medium will change to a greenish color first, and then to yellow during incubation at 37 ºC, thus showing the presence of living spores. If sterilization process is successful culture medium will remain blue after the incubation process. 7-day readout for visual confirmation by color change is optional and not intended to be routinely performed; it is an initial validation of the 4 hour-reading. Fluorescence results may be compared to the 7-day visual reading. Instructions For Use: Identify the Terragene® Bionova® BT110 SCBI by writing the sterilizer number (in case of having more than one), load number and processing date on the label. Pack the SCBI along with materials to be sterilized in an appropriate package according to recommended sterilization practices. Place the package in those areas which are considered most inaccessible for the sterilizing agent (e.g., the center of the load and areas near the door). Sterilize as usual. After the sterilization process has finished, open the sterilizer door, wait five minutes and remove the SCBI from the package. CAUTION: Wear safety glasses and gloves when removing the Terragene® Bionova® BT110 SCBI from the sterilized package. Check the Process Indicator on SCBI label. A color change to green indicates that the SCBI has been exposed to Ethylene Oxide. IMPORTANT: This color change does not evidence the process effectiveness to achieve sterility. If the color of the Process Indicator has not changed, check the sterilization process. Press the lid to seal the tube. Crush the ampoule contained in the SCBI with an individual ampoule crusher or with the ampoule crusher placed within the incubator´s incubation area. Then shake the tube down vigorously, with movements similar to those performed to lower the temperature in a mercury thermometer, until the medium reaches the base of the tube and soaks the spore carrier entirely. Finally, place the SCBI in the incubator. Incubate the processed indicator and the positive control indicator in the appropriate Terragene® Bionova® Auto-Reader incubators for a maximum of 4 hours at (37 ± 2) °C for rapid readout. Note: Holding time between sterilization and incubation should not exceed a 7-day period. Fluorescence detection by the reader (excitation 340-380 nm / emission 455-465 nm) means failure in the sterilization process. If no fluorescence is detected after 4 hours of incubation, the result is negative. The positive control must give positive fluorescence readout. It is good practice to incubate a positive control for visual color change. If chamber relative humidity is unknown or < 35 %, continue to incubate the Biological Indicator for a pH color change result, since low relative humidity may increase the fluorescent readout time beyond 4 hours.

Hyper Rapid Self-contained Biological Indicator for Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide sterilization processes. Final readout: 5 minutes. Indications For Use: Terragene® Bionova® BT98 fluorescence hyper rapid readout Biological Indicators have been designed for quick and easy monitoring of Plasma or vaporized hydrogen Peroxide sterilization cycles. Device Description: Terragene® Bionova® BT98 fluorescence hyper rapid readout Biological Indicators are single-use Self-Contained Biological Indicators (SCBIs) that consist of a polypropylene tube, a spore carrier and a glass ampoule with a culture medium, enclosed with a colored cap. Each tube contains a population of Geobacillus stearotermophilus ATCC 7953 spores inoculated on a spore carrier, a plastic cap with holes and a barrier permeable to Plasma or Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide. Each BT98 has a Process Indicator on label that changes from purple to green when exposed to hydrogen peroxide. Precautions: Warning: Do not use Terragene® Bionova® BT98 SCBI to control EO, Dry Heat, Formaldehyde or other sterilization processes different from specified. Do not reuse SCBI. Warning:  Place one or more SCBI in sterilizing hard-to-reach areas to ensure all areas of the chamber are sterilized. Please evaluate all load configurations to ensure ALL hard-to-reach areas have been identified, and place a SCBI in each of those locations. Warning:  Do not reuse the sterilizer until the SCBI test result is negative. Instructions For Use: Identify the Terragene® Bionova® BT98 SCBI by writing the sterilizer number (incase of having more than one), load number and processing date on the label. Pack the SCBI along with materials to be sterilized in an appropriate package according to recommended sterilization practices. Place the package in those areas which are considered most inaccessible for the sterilizing agent (e.g., the center of the load and areas near the door). Sterilize as usual. After the sterilization process has finished, open the sterilizer door, wait five minutes and remove the SCBI from the package. Caution Wear safety glasses and gloves when removing the Terragene® Bionova® BT98 SCBI from the sterilized package. ( Do not crush or handle the SCBI excessively, since this might cause the glass ampoule to burst. Let the SCBI cool down until it reaches room temperature.) Check the Process Indicator on SCBI label. A color change to green indicates that the SCBI has been exposed to Hydrogen Peroxide. IMPORTANT: This color change does not evidence the process effectiveness to achieve sterility. If the color of the Process Indicator has not changed, check the sterilization process. Press the lid to seal the tube. Crush the ampoule contained in the SCBI with an individual ampoule crusher or with the ampoule crusher placed within the incubator´s incubation area. Then shake the tube down vigorously, with movements similar to those performed to lower the temperature in a mercury thermometer, until the medium reaches the base of the tube and soaks the spore carrier entirely. Finally, place the SCBI in the incubator. Incubate the processed indicator and the positive control indicator in the appropriate Terragene® Bionova® auto-reader incubators for a maximum of 5 minutes at (60 ± 2) °C for hyper rapid readout. (Holding time between sterilization and incubation should not exceed a 1-hour period.) Important: Use a non-sterilized SCBI as a positive control at least once per day, when a sterilization cycle is run. The positive control ensures that correct incubation conditions were met; the capability of the medium to promote rapid growth; viability of spores has not been altered due to improper storage temperature, humidity or proximity to chemicals and proper functioning of Terragene® Bionova® Auto-Reader Incubators. Both, the positive control indicator and the processed indicator, should belong to the same batch. Fluorescence detection by the reader (excitation 340-380 nm / emission 455-465 nm) means failure in the sterilization process. If no fluorescence is detected after 5 minutes of incubation, the result is negative. The positive control must give positive fluorescence readout. It is good practice to incubate a positive control for visual color change. Record positive results and discard the SCBIs immediately, as it is indicated below. Hyper Rapid Readout: 5 minutes The hyper rapid readout must be carried out in the appropriate Terragene® Bionova® auto-reader incubators. Fluorescence is emitted after the reader stimulates the spore carrier with UV light. Final readout of negative results is readily available after 5 minutes of incubation. Fluorescence readout is an indirect measure of the viability of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores after the sterilization process (positive results). Furthermore, a failure in the sterilization process can also become evident by culture medium color-change. Due to the high sensitivity of the fluorescence results at 5 minutes, conventional incubation for color change of Terragene® Bionova® SCBI BT98 is not an advantage. Visual Confirmation: 5 days: Optionally, you can perform a visual color-change confirmation after a 5-day incubation. If the sterilization process has not been successful, culture medium will turn to yellow during incubation at (60 ± 2) ºC, indicating the presence of living spores. If sterilization was successful, culture medium will remain purple after incubation. The positive control must show a color change from purple to yellow for results to be valid. ( If 5-day readout is performed, a humidified environment will be required to prevent medium from drying out.) Readout Time: 7 days A 7-day readout is optional and may be routinely performed. This is an initial validation of the 5-minute readout. Fluorescence results are compared to the 7-day visual readouts. Monitoring Frequency: Follow facility policies and procedures which should specify a biological indicator monitoring frequency compliant with professional association recommended practices and/or national guidelines and standards. As the best practice and to provide optimal patient safety, Terragene® recommends that every sterilization load be monitored with an appropriate biological indicator. Storage: Store in a dark place at temperature between 10-30 ºC and 30-80 % relative humidity. Do not freeze. Do not store biological indicators near sterilizing agents or other chemical products. Shelf Life: Biological Indicators have an expiration date of 2 years from the date of manufacture when stored at recommended conditions. Do not use indicators after their expiration date. Chemical Process Indicator on SCBI label have an expiration date of 2 years when used as part of SCBI. Endpoint Stability Reaction: Chemical Process Indicator endpoint shall remain unchanged for a period of 6 months when stored at previously indicated conditions. Disposal: Discard biological indicators after use according to your country’s healthcare and safety regulations. The positive biological indicators can be autoclaved in a gravity air displacement steam sterilizer at 121 ºC for 5 minutes, 132 ºC for 15 minutes or 134 ºC for 10 minutes; or in a dynamic air removal steam sterilizer at 132 °C for 4 minutes or 135 °C for 3 minutes.
