Do not use on a vibrating surface.
Match the cap color of the 3M™Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 
with the color-coded configuration sticker surrounding the 3M™Attest™ 
Auto-reader390incubation wells. 
Do not remove or change placement of 3M™Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological 
Indicator once it is placed into a well. 
Do not remove the 3M™Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator from the 
incubation well until the (+) or (-) symbol on the LCD panel indicates the test 
iscomplete.
 Caution: To reduce the risk associated with incorrect results
To avoid the possibility of the 3M™Attest™ Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 
vial absorbing fluorescent residue from a chemical indicator or tape, place the
