Biological Indicators
Biological indicators are an important method of confirming that sterilization
was achieved during a cycle. ASP recommends using the STERRAD
®
CYCLESURE
®
24 Biological Indicator (BI). Contact your ASP
Representative regarding biological indicators specifically designed for use
in the STERRAD
®
100NX

Sterilizer.
Place a STERRAD CYCLESURE
®
24 BI in the chamber at the back of the
bottom shelf. Biological testing should be performed at least once per day or
as specified by your facility’s policy. Review the
Instructions For Use
included with the biological indicator to ensure its proper use.
