Spore Testing

What you should know

Out of state, mail-in spore testing services can be unreliable for a variety of reasons, but the most important point to consider: How long are you waiting on a spore test result now and what are the dangerous consequences of waiting that long, should you fail the test? 

Local, Same Day Results

Don't Wait

If you’re waiting 48 hours, consider how many cycles you are running in 48 hours on a particular machine and how many instruments were run through the machine in those 48 hours.  Consider how many instruments that were not sterilized properly were used on patients in 48 hours.  With same day results, these risk factors are significantly reduced and you can be confident your office is using the best practices possible regarding instrument sterilization and protection of your patient’s health as well as your own liability as a treating practitioner.

What does the CDC Say?

“A spore test should be used on each sterilizer at least weekly.”
 
Biological indicators, or spore tests, are the most accepted means of monitoring sterilization because they assess the sterilization process directly by killing known highly resistant microorganisms (e.g., Geobacillus or Bacillus species).”
