BI-O.K. Test-Pak

BI-O.K.™ Self-Contained Steam Biological Indicator Vials ensures optimal sterilization performance in both prevacuum and gravity autoclaves. Use steam biological indicators to release for all steam sterilization loads. Vials are inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores to challenge steam sterilization.

Follow our easy instructions to prepare the test pack or use BI-O.K.™ Steam Test Pack during the cycle. After the sterilization cycle activate the media by crushing the glass vial with the vial activator and incubate at 57°C. Exposure to steam triggers a chemical process indicator on the vial to react. A color change in the media from purple to yellow indicates spore growth and cycle failure.

BI-O.K.™ self-contained biological indicator vials are also available for ethylene oxide gas.

Propper Manufacturing Company Inc.’s biological monitoring service offers our diverse clinical and non-clinical clientele the security of knowing their patients and staff are safe.
