Product Features
4A Medical Incubator is designed to incubate 4ASBI (24 hours) steam biological indicators for steam sterilization process, 4AEOBI Ethylene Oxide biological indicators for EO sterilization process and 4APBI plasma biological indicators for Hydrogen Peroxide sterilization process.
Incubation temperatures vary depending on the indicator, because the microorganisms included within the Biological Indicators differentiate based on the sterilizing method for which they were created.
Three incubation programs are available: MOD 1 – 48 hours at 370C for EO biological indicators, MOD 2 – 24 hours at 570C for steam biological indicators and MOD 3 – 24 hours at 600C for plasma biological indicators.
The incubator makes it simple to identify positive and negative results for Biological Indicators. If the sterilization success is negative, the color of the culture media turns yellow. The color change should be interpreted that the sterilization was not successful.
The Sterile Barrier Association (SBA) is the European trade association for companies who produce Sterile Barrier Systems (SBS) and associated equipment and accessories for the healthcare industry. 4A Medical is a member of SBA and contributes to the developments in the association.
