Abstract:

An intelligent reader and data recording system, method and software for sterilization indicators provides instant results for which data may be easily captured, automatically determined, logged and stored. The sterilization indicator may include biological, chemical, instant biological, enzymatic, protein sensor exogenous or endogenous to a bacterial spore, and combinations thereof. The system may include a computing device, a camera, software, and a server. The camera may be standalone, or integral to the computing device, nonlimiting examples of which may include a cell phone or tablet, and software may be installed on the camera or computing device. The system may include an aperture box with UV filter lens for biological detection, removably attachable to the camera lens. The system may be used for reading and recording data of sterilization indicators from a sterilization monitoring product, generating instantaneous pass or fail results for uploading to the system server.
