Hydrogen Peroxide Biological Indicator

In Stock
CE / FDA / ISO 11138
Self-Contained

The JPS Hydrogen Peroxide (VH2O2/Plasma) Biological Indicator provides critical lethality testing for vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization cycles. These self-contained BIs utilize highly resistant *Geobacillus stearothermophilus* spores to ensure your low-temperature sterilization processes are fully effective.

  • Optimized Resistance: Uses *Geobacillus stearothermophilus* (ATCC 7953) specifically calibrated for VH2O2.
  • Self-Contained Convenience: Combines spores and specialized media in a single, safe vial.
  • Clear Interpretation: Distinct color change in the growth media indicates a sterilization failure.
  • Process Indicator Label: Built-in chemical indicator on the vial label turns from Red to Yellow when processed.
  • Standard Compliance: Fully conforms to ISO 11138 standards.
Product Details

Rigorous Testing for Low-Temperature Sterilization

Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VH2O2) and plasma sterilization are essential for heat-sensitive instruments. The JPS VH2O2 Biological Indicator provides the necessary assurance that these complex, low-temperature cycles have successfully achieved sterility.

The self-contained design features a glass ampoule of specialized growth media inside a plastic vial containing the spore disc. After the sterilization cycle, the ampoule is crushed, allowing the media to contact the spores. If any spores survive, they will ferment the media during incubation, causing a distinct color change (typically Purple to Yellow).

Key Advantages

Direct Lethality Test

Proves the cycle actually killed highly resistant spores.

Self-Contained System

Includes spores and culture media in one easy-to-use vial, minimizing handling errors.

Clear Interpretation

A definitive color change in the media indicates a failed cycle after incubation.

Built-in Chemical Indicator

The label on each vial features a chemical indicator to instantly show it has been processed.

Incubation Options

Available in standard or rapid readout formats depending on your incubator systems.

Compliance Guarantee

Essential for load release of critical devices and routine sterilizer qualification.

Quality Control Process

  • 1
    Population VerificationStrict testing to verify the exact spore count per batch.
  • 2
    D-Value CalculationDetermining the resistance (D-value) in a certified VH2O2 resistometer.
  • 3
    Survival/Kill TestingVerifying performance within specified VH2O2 survival and kill times.
  • 4
    Media Sterility & GrowthEnsuring culture media is sterile but highly capable of supporting growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature is required for incubation?
VH2O2 BIs utilizing *G. stearothermophilus* require incubation at temperatures between 55°C and 60°C. You will need a specific biological indicator incubator for this purpose.
How often should I use a biological indicator?
Standards typically recommend using a BI daily, or at a minimum, weekly. A BI must be used in every load containing implantable devices, and the load must be quarantined until the BI result is negative (pass).
What do I do with a positive (failed) BI result?
A positive result signifies a sterilization failure. The entire load must be recalled and reprocessed. The sterilizer must be taken out of service, inspected, repaired, and re-qualified with multiple consecutive successful BI tests before returning to use.
