Celerity™ 20 HP Biological Indicator

Fast Forward

The Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicator is a rapid-read, single-use biological indicator designed to monitor vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization processes, providing a final read within 20 minutes of incubation. The biological indicator is self-contained, reducing the risk of contamination and consequent false positives. Each biological indicator (BI) vial is inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus bacterial spores and contains a defined media within the vial cap. The vial cap label features a process indicator for hydrogen peroxide.

How the Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicator Works

After a sterilization cycle, the process indicator on the vial cap will provide immediate confirmation of processing. The BI is activated using a twist and flick motion and does not require a separate activator. Upon activation, the BI is incubated using the Celerity™ HP Incubator. A negative response provided by the incubator, within 20 minutes, indicates an acceptable sterilization process.

Why the Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicator?

• Speed and Ease of Use

The Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicator provides rapid results within 20 minutes so you can have confidence when releasing loads.

• Increased Productivity

The Celerity 20 HP BI provides expedited and confident load release for sets reprocessed in a V-PRO or STERRAD® Sterilizer*1. The BI allows you to reprocess and release up to 50 lbs. of devices in less than 50 minutes when used in the Non Lumen Cycle of the V-PRO maX or maX 2 Sterilizers.
