Biological evidence
There are advantages and disadvantages to biological indicators, which contain
spores chosen due to their high resistance to sterilization.
On the plus side, they deliver certainty of sterilization. Unlike physical moni-
tors and chemical indicators, biological indicators provide direct evidence that
the sterilization cycle has
effectively destroyed
microbes that were in
the chamber during its
run.
However, biological
indicators require incu-
bation to demonstrate
the absence or presence
of microbial activity.
Technological advances
have shortened the wait
from days to hours, but
the testing still requires
advanced planning, espe-
cially for loads contain-
ing implants, which can-
not be released until the
results are available.
Biological indicators
are used for a weekly or
preferably daily testing of
sterilizer efficacy during
routine loads. They're
