1 Because You Can t See Sterile.SM Sterilization EVERY LOAD. Sure-Check Sterilization Pouches 3 / 29 PMS 201C EVERY DAY. 50% BLACK STEAMPlus Class 5 Sterilization Integrators EVERY WEEK. ConFirm 10 In-Office Biological Monitoring ConFirm 24 In-Office Biological Monitoring ConFirm Mail-in Sterilizer Monitoring Service The ultimate in sterility assurance for your practice!
2 EVERY LOAD. Sure-Check Sterilization Pouches RODU C P T Triple your confidence with the world s most advanced sterilization pouches with multi-parameter internal/external indicators. CDC infection control guidelines make it clear: to ensure effective sterilization, items must be exposed to all 3 sterilization criteria time, temperature and pressure (steam). Advanced patent pending Sure-Check Sterilization Pouches feature: H ighest sterility assurance Built-in internal/external multi-parameter indicators only change color when all 3 criteria for sterilization have been met unlike traditional sterilization pouches with a Class 1 process indicator that measures only temperature. Simplified process Eliminates the extra step of adding separate multi-parameter indicators to each pouch. M eets CDC Guidelines for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities, M eets ANSI/AAMI ST79 Comprehensive Guide to Steam Sterilization and Assurance in Health Care Facilities. Tested and certified by an independent laboratory. Sure-Check Sterilization Pouches For steam and EtO only. are not considered hazardous waste and can be disposed of in regular trash Time Temperature Steam (40 CRF tested using the TCLP, EPA Publication SW-846). EVERY DAY. STEAMPlus Class 5 Sterilization Integrators UNPROCESSED STEAMPlus Class 5 Integrators are used with steam sterilization cycles to provide a definitive pass or fail result allowing for the release of all non-implant loads before the results of the spore test are received. Moving-front technology provides an immediate readout for use in gravity, prevacuum, and flash cycles. PASS Enhance sterility assurance by monitoring sterilizer performance. US Food and Drug Administration cleared. Does not replace the weekly use of a biological indicator because it does not contain spores. FAIL Sure-Check pouches, when combined with routine testing using STEAMPlus Class 5 Integrators and ConFirm biological monitoring, provide the highest level of sterility assurance available.
3 EVERY WEEK. ConFirm 10 In-Office Biological Monitoring Biological monitoring with final readout in just 10 hours! Now you can meet CDC biological monitoring guidelines for steam sterilizers in less than half the time... with ConFirm 10, the first in-office system that delivers a final readout in just 10 hours. P R O D U C T Easy to use Simply process indicator in a normal steam sterilization cycle followed by a 10 hour incubation cycle. Easy to read results Following the incubation cycle, if the media turns yellow this indicates a failed test. Fast Final readout in just 10 hours. Confirm 10 digital incubator shown, in addition a standard model is also available. ConFirm 10 Incubators are equipped for 110 and 220 volts (specify when ordering). ConFirm 24 In-Office Biological Monitoring Easy to use and interpret readout in just 24 hours. Simply process indicator in a normal sterilization cycle. Activate indicator, incubate and record readout. If any spores survive the process, the indicator medium will turn yellow signifying a failed test. Readout in just 24 hours. Easy to use, easy to read results. Complete Offering Everything you need for effective biological monitoring of steam sterilizers, including incubator, indicators, record book and manual. Universal BI - ConFirm 24 biological indicators can be processed in most incubators, including the current 3M Attest incubator. A 24 hour vial CANNOT be processed in a ConFirm 10 incubator. ConFirm 24 Incubators are available in 110 and 220 volt models (specify when ordering). Biological indicator testing should be accomplished on a weekly basis, according to regulatory agencies. Please check state recommendations for additional information.
4 ConFirm Mail-in Sterilizer Monitoring Service The most comprehensive mail-in service in healthcare with results available in just 24 hours!* We offer everything you need to verify sterilizer performance including our complimentary reminder service. Compatible with dry heat, chemical, EtO and steam sterilizers. Test results in as little as 24 hours* for steam, 72 hours for chemical, 7 days for dry heat and EtO upon receipt of spore strips in our laboratory. Your choice of immediate test failure notification by fax or with a follow-up phone call the next day from one of our clinical consultants. Sterilization results are faxed or ed quarterly and annually. Check results online 24 hours a day on our secure, confidential web site. Complimentary reminder service provides either a fax or alert notification of a missed test date. Third party documentation of test results provides a tangible record when proof of testing must be provided. One of the most cost-effective methods of biological monitoring. Highly resistant dual-species bacterial spores provide the most reliable method of testing for an effective sterilization cycle. * Upon receipt at the laboratory testing facility.

5 Are you meeting CDC Guidelines for biological monitoring? CDC Guidelines for Sterilization Pouches: Chemical indicators should be used in every sterilization package. Both external and internal chemical indicators are recommended. Multi-parameter indicators provide more reliable confirmation that sterilization conditions have been met. CDC Guidelines for Biological Monitoring: Biological indicators are the most accepted means of sterilization monitoring because they directly determine whether the most resistant microorganisms are present. Because spores used in BIs are more resistant and present in greater numbers than the common microbial contaminants found on patient-care equipment. A passed BI test, which confirms no spore growth, indicates other potential pathogens in the load have been killed. Sterilization Cycle Internal/external Multi-parameter indicators confirm all 3 criteria for sterilization: time, temperature, steam Use with steam sterilization cycles to receive a definitive pass/fail result Crosstex delivers a complete system for the highest level of sterility assurance! Fastest, easiest and most reliable method of testing CDC recommends at least weekly biological testing Mail-in service available or In-office system with final readout in 10 hours
