The ETIGAM BRIGHT-CHEQ is a convenient Biological Indicator Monitoring System for steam sterilization processes.
The BRIGHT-CHEQ biological indicator is a selfcontained unit such that the inoculated spore strip and the recovery medium are housed within the same primary package.
The BRIGHT-CHEQ incubator provides optimal recovery conditions for the Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores. Each incubation cell has dedicated hardware to continuously monitor the status of each incubated unit for microbial activity.

One or more BRIGHT-CHEQ indicators are sterilized with the load. Upon removal from the sterilizer, the BRIGHT-CHEQ biological indicator is activated by flexing the culture tube to break the media ampoule inside, allowing the growth medium to mix with the paper spore strip.
The activated indicator is then placed in the BRIGHT-CHEQ incubator.
If any spores have survived the sterilization process, the bacteria will grow during incubation and cause a colourchange from purple to yellow.
The BRIGHT-CHEQ incubator will monitor and record all samples, alert the user by an audible alarm and a change of the LED status. A report will be generated and printed automatically upon any detected failed sterilization cycle, or upon completion of the set incubation time.

This recommended incubation time of 10 hours meet the CDRH FDA RIT protocol.
The BRIGHT-CHEQ BI does not rely on degradation of chemical substances or enzyme results to forecast anticipated biological activity, but is a rapid-acting true biological indicator

BRIGHT-CHEQ biological indicator monitoring system advantages :
• High efficacy
• Failed sterilization cycle detected in 3 to 5 hours
• Results are true biological and final in 10 hours
• Dramatic colour change for positive cultures
• Convenient to culture
• No special laboratory is necessary for culturing
