• The Incubator is intended to be used solely with Celerity BIs. Do not substitute any other products for
the Celerity BIs.
• Do not remove BI from well during incubation for more than 10 seconds until result is shown. Removal
of BI may invalidate test.
Caution:
• To avoid possible environmental contamination, dispose of the Incubator per applicable government

A. Product Description:
The Celerity Incubator is designed exclusively to incubate and read activated Celerity Biological Indicators (BIs).
The device serves as both an Incubator and a fl uorescence detector. The Incubator heats the activated BIs to
temperatures which promote the metabolism and subsequent detection of viable test organisms under evaluation.
While the activated BI is incubating, viability is determined by an increase in a fl uorescent signal from the enzymatic
breakdown of a fl uorogenic substrate present in the media.
B. Intended Use:
Use the Celerity Incubator to incubate and automatically read STERIS Celerity Biological Indicators for Steam and
Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide sterilization at 55°C-60°C for a fl uorescent result.
Refer to the Instructions for Use for the Celerity BIs to confi rm the validated readout times.
