Attest™ Mini Auto-reader, 490M
4-Well Dual Biological Indicator Incubator - 24 Minute Results - Steam and VH2O2 - Each

The Attest™ Mini Auto-reader 490M is a compact 4-well biological indicator incubator and auto-reader that delivers biological indicator results in 24 minutes. Attest is a Solventum brand, formerly 3M, and the 490M was previously sold as the 3M Attest Mini Auto-reader. It is a dual auto-reader, compatible with Attest super rapid biological indicators for both steam and vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) sterilization. Any Well technology means Attest 1491 or 1492V biological indicators and their associated challenge packs for steam, or Attest 1295 biological indicators for VH2O2, can be incubated in any of the four wells at the same time.

Facilities that monitor both sterilization methods can do so on a single incubator. An extra-large intelligent display shows a time-to-result countdown that can be read from a distance, making it easier to monitor incubation from across a sterile processing area. A USB cable is included for use with the Attest Connect Auto-reader application. The Attest Mini Auto-reader 490M is suited to sterile processing departments, operating rooms, clinics and any facility running routine sterilizer monitoring. Sterilization cycles must align with the biological indicator's indications for use, so refer to the biological indicator IFU.
