Spordex BI Discs

Spordex Discs

Item Number: NA303

STERIS Spordex® Biological Indicator Discs are small discs of special filter paper, polyflex, or stainless steel coupons inoculated with bacteria spores, either Bacillus atrophaeus (BA) for ethylene oxide and dry heat sterilization, or Geobacillus stearothermophilus (GS) for saturated steam or hydrogen peroxide vapor sterilization. Discs and coupons are either packaged in bulk or individually packaged in glassine or Tyvek®. Biological Indicators with known resistances and spore populations are available to ensure consistent sterility monitoring.

HOW SPORDEX BIOLOGICAL INDICATOR DISCS WORK

STERIS' Spordex Biological Indicator Discs can be placed inside your devices to create a customized challenge device or put in the load in their sealed envelope. After the sterilization cycle is complete, discs should be transferred aseptically to media and incubated.

WHY SPORDEX BIOLOGICAL INDICATOR DISCS?

  • Productivity - Small disc size allow greater flexibility in placement of BIs.
  • Ease of Use - Discs can be placed in your specific device being sterilized to create your own custom challenge devices.
  • Reliability - Lot number, organism, and expiration printed on each package.
  • Efficacy - Meet the suggested performance parameters published in the current USP and EP standards.
  • Flexibility - Custom designed discs with defined populations or D-value ranges are available.
