Biological Indicator Reader with Printer, BIOPT1 MINI
The BIOPT1 MINI is an automatic biological indicator reader designed for routine monitoring and verification of sterilization cycles in hospitals, CSSDs, dental clinics, day surgery centers, and laboratories. It provides rapid fluorescence-based results and integrates documentation with a built-in thermal printer to support infection prevention and quality programs.
Key features
- Rapid result reading for biological indicators: 20, 60, or 180 minutes (depending on indicator and cycle).
- Integrated thermal printer for on-the-spot result printouts.
- Color touchscreen for straightforward operation.
- Data storage for up to 10,000 records.
- Data export via USB and Ethernet.
- Traceability: operator and cycle information can be recorded and included in saved results.
- Audible and on-screen visual alarms for status and results.
- Compact footprint suitable for sterilization rooms and clinics.
- Bilingual user interface with quick switching between Simplified Chinese and English.
Supported sterilization methods and tests
- Pressurized steam sterilization (autoclave).
- Low-temperature hydrogen peroxide plasma sterilization.
- Low-temperature steam formaldehyde sterilization.
- Ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization (results within 180 minutes).
- Bowie–Dick tests.
- Process Challenge Devices (PCD).
Applications
- Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSD).
- Hospitals and medical centers.
- Dental clinics.
- Day surgery centers.
- Medical laboratories.
- Accredited healthcare facilities and infection control programs.
- Ongoing monitoring of sterilization quality.
