Description
- Product: 3M™ Attest™ Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VH₂O₂) Tri-Metric Chemical Indicator 1348E
- Classification: Type 4 multi-variable chemical indicator designed for vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization monitoring
- Tri-Metric Monitoring: Independently monitors all three critical VH₂O₂ cycle variables: exposure time, sterilant concentration, and temperature
- Extended Length Design: Measures 4 inches (10.16 cm) in total length with an integrated 2-inch extender handle for easy, aseptic retrieval from deep instrument trays, rigid containers, or peel pouches
- Moving-Front Progression: Blue-to-pink moving-front indicator ink advances progressively along the strip as sterilization conditions are satisfied
- Accept/Reject Readout: Features distinct "ACCEPT" and "REJECT" viewing zones, eliminating the need to interpret subtle color shades or ambiguous color matches
- Protective Laminate: Encased in a protective film over a non-cellulose substrate to prevent indicator ink from rubbing off or transferring onto surgical instruments
- Sterilizer Compatibility: Validated for internal pack monitoring across major VH₂O₂ sterilizer platforms (including STERRAD and V-PRO systems)
- Ambient Light Stability: Resistant to premature fading or color changes caused by normal clinical room lighting before and after processing
- Post-Process Record Retention: Retains color stability for at least 6 months following sterilization for physical documentation and record keeping
- Safety & Packaging: Single-use, barcode-enabled for tracking, supplied in packs of 250, and not made with natural rubber latex
