IC10/20FR

Simultaneous incubation of SCBIs for monitoring
EO processes along with SCBIs for monitoring
other sterilization processes is not possible.
Bionova
®
IC10/20FR Auto-reader has been designed for the
incubation and automatic readout of Terragene
®
Rapid, Super
Rapid and Ultra Rapid Self-contained biological indicators
(SCBIs) appropriate for a wide range of sterilization control
applications, and for the incubation and automatic readout of
Hygiene Monitoring System Indicators (Protein Pen) appropriate
for surface cleaning and contamination control applications.
Bionova
®
IC10/20FR allows two different incubation
temperatures, 37 °C or 60 °C. Microorganisms contained
within the SCBIs vary depending on the sterilization process
for which they have been designed, therefore, incubation
temperatures and incubation times differ depending on the
SCBI being used. Bionova
®
IC10/20FR allows two independent
time settings selections. One of them for configuring the
incubation time for positions 1 to 6, and the other for postions
7 to 12.
SCBIs for Ethylene Oxide (EO), should be incubated at 37 ºC,
while those used for the monitoring of the rest of the sterilization
processes should be incubated at 60 ºC.

Bionova
®
IC10/20FR Auto-reader allows easy and rapid
detection of positive and negative SCBIs using advanced
fluorescence techniques. A positive result can also be
evidenced by culture medium color change when performing
extended incubations. Read the instructions for use of each
SCBI for more information. The option to perform or not an
extended incubation depends on the internal protocols of each
laboratory or hospital.
Bionova
®
IC10/20FR Auto-reader also provides a printed ticket
each time an incubation is completed for recording the results.
This allows for easy result management, for documentation
compliance and safe-keeping.
