Sterilisation Packaging

SPSmedical offers a wide selection of disposable CSR Wrap and Sterility Maintenance Bags. Indicator tapes are available for most common sterilization processes, along with a proprietary LoopPlus® Banding System designed to eliminate adhesive tape problems and save money for facilities doing large volume packaging.

Disposable Wrap

Blue nonwoven CSR wrap can be used for packaging instrument trays and materials. Use with Steam, EO gas, Chemical vapor or Radiation sterilization. Independent Lab Report documents how this product offers an excellent barrier to airborne bacteria, repellency to water, OR fluids and alcohol when compared to reusable muslin wraps. Made of natural fiber-based materials (i.e. wood pulp), each sheet is biodegradable and does not emit odors, toxic waste or other residues when incinerated. Excellent product for use with table-top sterilizers which can have temperature spikes.

Indicator Tapes

Individually packaged, our multiparameter autoclave tape can be used with disposable or reusable wrappers. Available in 3 widths for Steam and 3/4" width for EO gas, Dry heat or Chemical vapor processes.

Sterility Maintenance Bags

Self-seal and Heat-seal Dust Covers are for use as a "sterility maintenance" bag after packs have been processed and properly cooled. Strong 3 mil polyolifin plastic protects against dust, moisture and airborne contaminants. Each SPSmedical Dust Cover is clear in design to provide 100% visibility of packs. Low-slip, polyolifin plastic material minimizes sliding during sterile storage. Built in "linear tear" feature makes opening each Dust Cover a simple task.

LoopPlus System®

This "new technology" banding machine is designed to secure packs before, during and after sterilization. Using a patented design, the LoopPlus banding machine automatically tensions, seals and cuts a LoopStrap around a pack in seconds, thus eliminating the need for autoclave tape. Increase worker productivity, save money and eliminate autoclave tape "adhesive damage" that can occur with reusable wrappers. LoopStrap is 1/4" x 2,500 ft. (762 meters) per roll.

Biological Indicators

SPSmedical offers the industry's most complete line of spore tests designed to meet the AAMI, USP and Mil Standards. Each BI contains live Bacillus spores, which document through their death that sterilization was actually achieved. Routine spore testing (at least weekly) is recommended and/or required by most healthcare agencies.Special Note: 24 hour read-out for all Steam cycles with mail-in spore tests.

SporView® Self-Contained BI’s

Self-contained in-office biological indicator (BI) systems certified and available for saturated Steam or EO gas sterilization processes. After processing in a normal load, the user activates the media vial then incubates at 60ºC (Steam) for 24 hours or 37ºC (EO gas) for 48 hours. A color change in the media of a processed BI indicates sterilizer failure.

The SporView® Plus System is an in-office Biological Indicator (BI) monitoring system with immediate read-out, for use in all Steam sterilization processes. Each box contains 25 SporView self-contained BI spore tests and 25 STEAMPlus Integrators that has been certified to perform equal to a BI plus a safety factory.

The SporView® Culture Set is an in-office Biological Indicator (BI) system certified for use with Steam, EO gas, Chemical vapor and Dry heat. After processing in a normal load, the user aseptically transfers the BI strip into media and incubates at 56ºC (Steam/C-vapor) or 37ºC (EO gas/Dry heat) for 7 days. A color change and visible turbidity of a processed BI indicates sterilizer failure.

Spore Ampule® Steam BI

An error-free, in-office BI system certified for use with saturated Steam sterilization processes including liquids. After processing in a normal load, the SporAmpule is incubated at 56ºC for 48 hours. A purple to yellow color change and visible turbidity of a processed SporAmpule indicates sterilizer failure.

Biological Indicator Strips

Geobacillus stearothermophilus and B. atrophaeus spores are stocked in dual species and single species formats. Custom population lots and B. pumilus spores for radiation process monitoring are also available. SPSmedical BI strips are manufactured with a two (2) year shelf-life under cool, dry storage. Each shipment includes a Certificate of Performance documenting spore population, spore resistance, D values and expiration date. Strip itself has lot number identification imprinted.

Spore Suspension

For use with process validation testing, Bacillus spore suspension in 10 ml vials are available in the following spore concentrations. Custom manufactured, allow 7-10 days for shipment.

Steam Biological Test Pack

Designed to routinely challenge the steam sterilization process in healthcare facilities, each pack contains a self-contained biological indicator and Load Record Card. When properly processed, the chemical indicator on the pack and Load Record Card will turn brown and the BI inside the pack will remain purple after full incubation.

BI Accessories

Culture Media, Transfer Rack, preset Dry Block Incubators and Record Notebooks are available as individual items. Incubators will accommodate all SPSmedical products and carry a lifetime warranty.

SporView® PA Culture Set

SporView PA Culture Set is the fastest biological monitoring system for the STERIS System 1 peracetic acid sterilization process. Product features include final readout in only 24 hours, room temperature storage, and fits existing incubators. Product is sold 25 tests per box and record notebook is available to store test results. Incubation time savings is significant when failures are detected and the sterilizer needs servicing.

Patient Record Card

Utilized for tracking sterilized products directly to the patient they were used on. Tape to the outside of every package and apply a lot control sticker to the card. The OR then seperates it at the perforation and places it on the patient's chart.

Miscellaneous

The steam indicator pen is a multiparameter, chemical indicator pen which allows users to identify and monitor items that are Steam processed. Indicator changes color from BLACK to RED when processed at 250ºF - 285ºF (121ºC - 138ºC). Unique, self-inking tip extends pen life. Works on nonporous surfaces only (i.e. metal, glass or plastic).
