Description of use

Bionova® IC10/20FRLCD Auto-reader has been desig-
ned for the incubation of the following Self-Contained
Biological Indicators (IBs):
• Rapid Readout Self-Contained Biological Indicators:
BT110 for Ethylene Oxide sterilization control, BT220
and BT221 for Steam sterilization control, BT102 for
Formaldehyde sterilization control and BT95 for Plasma
or Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide sterilization control.
• Super Rapid Readout Self-Contained Biological Indi-
cators: BT222 and BT223 for Steam sterilization control
and BT96 for the control of Plasma or Vaporized Hydro-
gen Peroxide sterilization control.
• Ultra Rapid Readout Self-Contained Biological Indica-
tors: BT224 for Steam sterilization control.
Microorganisms contained within the Biological Indi-
cators vary depending on the sterilization process for
which they have been designed, therefore, incubation
temperatures differ depending on the indicator. Indica-
tors for Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization control, should
be incubated at 37 ºC, while those involved in the mo-
nitoring of the rest of the sterilization processes should
be incubated at 60 ºC.
Simultaneous incubation of BIs for EO proces-
ses control within BIs monitoring the other pro-
cesses, is not possible.
Bionova® IC10/20FRLCD Auto-reader allows easy and
rapid detection of positive and negative Biological In-
dicators. Six incubation programs are available: 4 hours
at 37 ºC, 3 hours at 60 ºC, 2 hours at 60 ºC, 1 hour at 60
ºC, 30 minutes at 60 ºC and 20 min. at 60 °C.
A positive result can also be evidenced by culture me-
dium color change to yellow, read the instructions for
use of each indicator for more information. The choice
to perform or not the extended incubation to confirm
by color change depends on the internal protocols of
each laboratory or hospital.
The IC10/20FRLCD Bionova® Auto-reader contains
a special cavity to run quantitative readings of the
Chemdye® PRO System.
The equipment can be connected to a PC through an
Ethernet port. This allows to link the results with the Bio-
nova® Traceability Software for Automatic Readout and
Traceability of Rapid, Super Rapid, Ultra Rapid Biological
Indicators and Hygiene Monitoring System. To down-
load the latest version of the software, go to:
