SPS Medical Econo Mail-In Sterilizer Monitor Service is used for routine biological monitoring of sterilization processes in dental and medical instrument reprocessing areas. The mail-in spore testing system provides an independent laboratory method for checking whether a sterilizer cycle achieved conditions sufficient to inactivate highly resistant bacterial spores, and it is certified for use with steam, chemical vapor, dry heat, and ethylene oxide gas processes, giving practices one monitoring service for several sterilizer types. Each box contains 52 tests.

Dental offices ordering biological monitoring services from their supplier can buy this format to maintain a scheduled testing routine throughout the year. Each submission uses a processed test strip together with an unprocessed control strip, and results are documented after 24 hours for steam, 72 hours for chemical vapor, and 7 days for dry heat and ethylene oxide gas. SPS Medical also provides online access to completed results, with summary reports issued quarterly. During monitoring, the test strip is processed in a normal sterilizer load according to the product instructions, while the control strip remains unprocessed, and the required identifying information is completed before the materials are returned to the laboratory.

Incubation allows the laboratory to determine whether viable spores remain on the processed indicator, and no growth on the processed test alongside expected growth on the control supports verification that the monitored cycle performed effectively. If a test indicates a failure, the service includes prompt confidential notification so the practice can begin its established sterilizer-failure response procedures.
