BIOLOGICAL INDICATOR INSTRUCTIONS -- NAS-152 Certifi cate of Analysis PROCESS EVALUATION 'Place biological indicators in Iocations pleviously deterrnined to be the most diffrcult to sterilize. Aleas experiencing rninimal gas flow or poor gas distribution include enclosure comers, areas in and atouud equiptnent, and locations among disposable rnate¡ials to be used in the enclosure. Note that the inoculated side ofthe carrier faces the prìnted label on the Tyvek pouch, therefore the printed side should face outward during a process cycle. Apex Biological Indicator (Reorder # NAS-I52) for Gaseous Hydrogen Peroxide Lot #: N0975 02 Manufacfure: 2015 APRIL Expiration: 2016 JANUARY 31 Indicator: Geobacillus stearothermophilus 7953 (t) Mean population: àlij x 106 CFU per stainless steel carrier (2) Storage conditions: 2-8"C; less than 50% RH; move to ambient conditions > t hr before use. Shipping conditions: Ambient temperatures; cold pack and desiccant may be used to moderate conditions during shipping. Resistance Characteristics D-value(3): .Conduct the sterilization and aemtion cycle. 'Retnove the indicatols and deliver thern, plus one ol morc unexposed control indicators, to the labomtoly fol sterility testing. Culturing of exposed indicators should be conducted as soon as possible following rerroval from the enclosure being tested. CULTURING PROCEDURES 'Culture in a laminar flow hood. Observe shict aseptic technique at all times. Minirnally, sterile gloves should be wom. Include donning hoods, masks, and gowns as appropriate for the facility and : circumstances. 0.7r¡inutesin2rnglLgaseousHzOz 'Aseptically open the Tyvek pouch by cutting with sterile scissors or peeling apart at the end with the package offset. units are manufactured in cornpliance with Mesa Laboratory, Bozeman Manufacturing Facility's quality standards and ISo 1 I 138-1 guidelines and all appropriate subsections.

Purity: No evidence of contaminants using standard plate count techniques. Incubate at 55-60"C for 7 days.

Disposal: Treat 'Validation and napping processes generally lequire rnultiple indicators at numerous sites in an enclosure. .Turbidity: as non-pathogenic material and sterilize (steam, EtO, etc) or For test indicatom, tuúidity suggests that the stedlization was incomplete and that at least one incinerate before discarding. spore suwived the process. (r)Culture is traceable to a recognized culture collection identified in USP and ISO I I I 38. (2) Heat shock population detennined at 95-l 00"C for I 5 rninutes (3) Resistance was calculated using Fraction Negative rnethod. The D-value is leproducible only when exposed and cultured under the exact conditions used to obtain results reported here. Fol positive contrcl indicators, turbidity indicates that viable spores were present and capable of^outgrowth in the culture mediurn used. hr negative contlol tubes, turbidity indicates that viable organisrns rnay have been present in . the growth rnedium. Contact youl supplier. .No turbidity: _ Fol test indicators, lack ofturbidity indicates sterjlization was complete and no spores survived the process. hr negali.ve contlol tubes, Iack _ oftutbidity indicates no other viable organisms were present in . the culture medium. For positive control indicator, no turbidity suggests no viable organisrns were present on the canier or that the media tnay be inhibiting the outgrcwth of the test olganism. Contaòt your supplier.
