N E T • 1 5 3 Verify Low-Temp Sterility in Only 24 Minutes You can verify that instruments are sterilized at low temperatures in just 24 minutes instead of the former 4-hour time frame with 3M's rapid sterilizing test kit. The Attest Rapid Readout system delivers bio- logical indicator (BI) results for instruments that have undergone vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH202) sterilization cycles faster than any other FDA-cleared product and 10 times faster than 3M's previous market-leading time of 4 hours, achieved with the 2016 release of the Attest Rapid BI System for VH202. With the 24-minute BI for VH202, 3M offers a rapid BI portfolio across the 3 most common sterilization modalities — VH202, steam and ethylene oxide. Existing customers with a 3M 4-hour VH2O2 system are eligible for a free system upgrade to access 24-minute BI readout results. New customers should con- tact a 3M rep. go.3M.com/VH202
