Description

The Maxitest Mail-In Biological Monitoring Test Pack is designed for effective and reliable sterilization verification in clinical and laboratory environments. Each test pack contains a self-contained spore test vial used to monitor the effectiveness of steam sterilization cycles, specifically targeting biological indicators.

This system utilizes Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores, known for their resistance to steam sterilization, ensuring the monitoring process adheres to the highest standards. The pack is pre-assembled and ready for immediate placement in the most challenging area of the sterilizer, typically the center of a full load, to simulate worst-case sterilization conditions.

After the sterilization cycle is completed, the user mails the spore test vials to a certified laboratory using the provided return packaging. The lab then incubates the vial and observes for any spore growth, which would indicate sterilization failure. Each box contains 52 individual test packs along with access to mail-in laboratory service.
