• To avoid using ineectively sterilized loads, do not remove the Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicators (BI)
before incubation is complete.
• The Incubator is intended to be used solely with Celerity 20 HP BIs. Do not substitute any other products
for the Celerity 20 HP BIs.
• Do not remove BI from well or open the lid during incubation for more than 30 seconds until result is
shown. Removal of BI may invalidate test.
• Do not turn well heating o during incubation. Doing so will invalidate the test result.

A. Product Description:
The Celerity HP Incubator is designed exclusively to incubate and read activated Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicators
(BIs). The device serves as both an incubator and a fluorescence detector. The Incubator heats the activated BIs
to temperatures which promote the germination, metabolism, and subsequent detection of viable test organisms
under evaluation. While the activated BI is incubating, any viable organisms will begin to grow. Viability is determined
by an increase in a fluorescent signal due to an enzymatic breakdown of a fluorogenic substrate present in the
recovery media.
B. Intended Use:
Use the Celerity HP Incubator to incubate and automatically read Celerity 20 HP Biological Indicators at 57°C for a
fluorescent result within 20 minutes.
