Characteristics
The kit consist of 25 Porous cards systems plus a Bionova® BT224
Self-Contained Biological Indicator (SCBI) box (25 units). Each porous
cards system contains a BT224 SCBI, an IT26-C moving-front Type 5
Integrator Indicator and a self-adhesive Record Card, PCDBI-C-RC,
where data on sterilization cycle may be written.
Process Indicator:
Initial color: blue.
Final color: dark grey or black.
IT26-C Integrator Indicator (within the challenge device):
The migration is visible through a zone marked ACCEPT or REJECT,
thus indicating whether sterilization conditions were met.
Integration condition is calibrated against the kill time of a 106 G.
