VALIDOLINE Spores: Spore Kit for Biological Sterilization Control

VALIDOLINE SPORE is a spore kit for biological monitoring of sterilization cycles with saturated steam. Each package contains 20 spore vials, ideal for monitoring the effectiveness of autoclave sterilization. This biological control system is perfect for ensuring that sterilization cycles at 121°C and 134°C are correctly performed, without the need for complex laboratory tests.

Simple and Reliable Biological Control System

The VALIDOLINE SPORE biological test is designed to simplify the sterilization monitoring process. It does not require complex instruments or specialized analyses: simply follow a series of practical steps to obtain a clear and reliable result. The bacterial spores are inoculated on a paper support, contained in a glass vial that includes sterile culture medium and a pH indicator. This system is suitable for all types of autoclaves, making it extremely versatile and useful in various professional settings.

How the VALIDOLINE SPORE Biological Test Works

The biological monitoring process with VALIDOLINE SPORE is simple and practical, divided into a few essential steps:

• Test Preparation: Place the spore vial in the sterilization chamber, even if there is already a load present. The vial must be exposed to the sterilization cycle along with the other instruments.
• Sterilization Cycle Execution: Run the sterilization cycle as usual (121°C or 134°C). After the cycle, carefully remove the vial, as it will still be hot and under pressure.
• Vial Activation: Allow the vial to cool for about 10 minutes. Then activate it by pressing with your fingers, keeping the vial upright. The chemical indicator on the label will change color, from blue to black.
• Incubation and Monitoring: Place the vial in a biological incubator at 57°C for 24 hours, along with a non-processed but activated test vial. After 12 hours, check for any bacterial growth.

Result Interpretation

• If the biological control vial shows signs of bacterial growth after 24 hours of incubation, the sterilization cycle was not effective.
• If no growth is observed, the cycle was performed correctly and the instruments are safely sterilized.

This monitoring system is a reliable and simple method to ensure proper sterilization and to eliminate risks to patient safety.

Packaging and Availability

The VALIDOLINE SPORE kit comes in a package containing 20 spore vials, providing enough tests for multiple sterilization cycles. It is an affordable and practical product, ideal for clinics, dental offices, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities requiring precise and effective sterilization monitoring.
