The FDA cleared 3M's Attest Super Rapid Biological Indicator System for Steam, the company announced April 30.
Here are three things to know.
1. The system, available to existing 3M Attest system customers through a software upgrade, provides biological indicator test results in 24 minutes.
2. The upgrade will allow 3M Attest systems to read both steam and vaporized hydrogen peroxide biological indicators at the same time to help streamline sterilization workflows.
3. Customers may use the same biological indicators and test packs already on the market for the upgraded system.
