Biological Indicators

Strips and Discs

• Used to evaluate the effectiveness of sterilization processes
• Essential in performing sterilization cycle validation
• For ethylene oxide gas, dry heat, steam and radiation sterilization
• Wide range of organisms, populations and packaging
• Spore strips, discs, suspensions and custom configurations
• Meets AAMI, EN866, USP and ISO 11138 standards

NAMSA follows strict scientific procedures to prepare spore suspensions of certified population and resistance. These spores are then inoculated onto paper strips or discs. The strips (6mm x 30mm) are individually enclosed within glassine envelopes in shelf packs of 100 strips. Mini strips (2 mm x 10 mm) will fit into small areas of a device where a standard-sized spore strip cannot be used, such as within as syringe barrel, inside tubing or under a cap.

All spore strips are packaged in glassine envelopes. Discs are packaged in bulk without glassine envelopes in shelf packs of 100. Most species are available in populations from 104 to 107 (other populations are available upon request*).

NAMSA's SPORTROL Spore Suspensions are pure suspensions of viable spores for specific organisms of known resistance to various sterilization processes. They are suspended in water for injection and provided in 10 mL pharmaceutical vials.

Most species are available in populations of 103 to 108 spores per 0.1 mL (other populations are available upon request*).

Chemical Indicators

NAMSA's Chemical Process Indicators are self-adhesive labels suitable for application by hand or Meto gun on shipping cartons or individual packages. The label color indicates at a glance whether or not the product has gone through the sterilization process, making it easy for sterilization facilities and manufacturers to control inventory and assure end users that products have been exposed to the sterilization process.

Storage Considerations - All Indicator Types

Short-term, moderate heat (up to 35°C) or humid environmental conditions will not adversely affect the indicators' unexposed color. Storage in a cool, dry place at room temperature is recommended. Indicators should not be exposed to prolonged UV light, direct or indirect sunlight. After exposure to the sterilization process, NAMSA Chemical Process Indicators are stable.

For information on Gamma radiation labels, EtO, steam or vapour hydrogen peroxide chemical indicator labels.

Chemical Indicator Data Sheet

Custom Labels

Custom indicator labels are a convenient, cost-effective option for manufacturers who wish to combine a sterilization indicator with an existing label. These custom indicators can be any size or shape, in roll or sheet formats, and are designed for application directly to an existing label, pouch, carton, or other container as required. NAMSA currently manufactures custom labels for leading companies in the medical device, garments, food and packaging industries. Contact NAMSA for more information or a price quote on custom label configurations.

Customised Label Data Sheet

Sterilization Process Indicator inks

Flexographic/Gravure Inks can be used on labels, strips, films, papers, pouches, tapes and lid stock materials to monitor exposure to ethylene oxide, steam, hydrogen peroxide, dry heat, chemiclave, steam-formaldehyde and combination EO/steam. Silkscreen inks for steam are also available.

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.For product profiles on the items listed above, please click on any of the following;

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.

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.

Bowie-Dick type test packs monitor sterilizer operation and air removal for vacuum-assisted steam sterilizers. Includes Comply™ Bowie-Dick Plus Test Pack with early warning test sheet, Comply™ Bowie-Dick Test Packs and test sheets. Bowie-Dick Test Packs are used for equipment control as a way to find out whether or not your sterilizer is doing its job properly. Bowie-Dick test packs should be used daily, after a sterilizer is installed, relocated, after sterilizer malfunction, after sterilization process failures, and after any major repairs of the sterilizer.The 3M™ Comply™ 00135 Bowie-Dick Plus Test Pack with Early Warning Test Sheet consists of chemical indicators on two test sheets positioned inside porous materials and sealed inside a CSR outer wrap. In addition to the regular Bowie-Dick test sheet, a sensitive early warning indicator sheet identifies problems sooner so the sterilizer may be repaired before it must be taken out of use. The 3M™ Comply™ 1233 Bowie-Dick Test Packs consist of a chemical indicator sheet positioned inside porous materials and sealed inside a CSR outer wrap. The 3M™ Comply™ Bowie-Dick Internal Steam Indicator Sheets are large-sized, test sheets used for health-care facility prepared, reusable towel Bowie-Dick test packs.
