Attest™ Super Rapid Steam Biological Indicator Challenge Pack 41482V
With 1492V BI and Type 5 CI - 24 Minute Results - Dynamic Air Removal Steam - Carton of 12

The Attest™ Super Rapid Readout Steam Biological Indicator Challenge Pack 41482V is a pre-assembled, disposable, white-wrapped test pack for qualification testing and routine monitoring of dynamic air removal saturated steam sterilization cycles in healthcare facilities. Attest is a Solventum brand, formerly 3M, and the 41482V was previously sold as the 3M Attest Super Rapid Steam Biological Indicator Challenge Pack. It is designed to monitor 132°C (270°F) 4-minute and 135°C (275°F) 3-minute cycles. Each pack contains an Attest Super Rapid Readout Steam Biological Indicator 1492V with a brown cap and an Attest Steam Chemical Integrator, Type 5, along with a record-keeping sheet and a chemical process indicator on the pack label.

The pack presents a challenge to the sterilization process equivalent to the user-assembled 16-towel biological indicator challenge test pack (PCD) recommended by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). Because it comes ready to use, staff don't need to build test packs by hand. The biological indicator gives a result in 24 minutes and must be incubated in an Attest Auto-reader 490 or 490M. A UDI-compliant 2-D barcode allows the GTIN, use-by date and lot code to be captured with a handheld scanner. Both the biological indicator and chemical integrator are ISO compliant. Each carton contains 12 challenge packs.

What is included in each Attest 41482V challenge pack?
Each pack includes an Attest Super Rapid Readout Steam Biological Indicator 1492V with a brown cap, an Attest Steam Chemical Integrator, Type 5, a record-keeping sheet and a chemical process indicator on the pack label.

What sterilization cycles does the Attest 41482V monitor?
The 41482V monitors 132°C (270°F) 4-minute and 135°C (275°F) 3-minute dynamic air removal saturated steam sterilization cycles.

How long does it take to get biological indicator results?
The biological indicator gives a result in 24 minutes.

What equipment is needed to read the biological indicator?
The biological indicator must be incubated in an Attest Auto-reader 490 or Attest Mini Auto-reader 490M.

How does the Attest challenge pack compare with a user-assembled test pack?
The 41482V presents a challenge to the sterilization process equivalent to the 16-towel biological indicator challenge test pack (PCD) recommended by AAMI. It comes pre-assembled, so staff don't need to build test packs by hand.

What is the difference between the 41482V challenge pack and the Attest 1492V biological indicator?
The 1492V is the biological indicator on its own. The 41482V challenge pack contains a 1492V together with a Type 5 chemical integrator in a pre-assembled test pack. The pack's challenge is equivalent to the AAMI 16-towel PCD.

How many packs come in a carton?
