Composition
Product description
Bionova®MiniBio Auto-reader has been designed for the
incubation and automatic readout of Terragene®Rapid, Super
Rapid and Ultra Rapid Self-contained biological indicator
(SCBIs) appropriate for sterilization and environmental
disinfection process control applications.
Bionova®MiniBio allows two different incubation temperatures,
37 °C or 60 °C. Microorganisms contained within the SCBIs
vary depending on the sterilization process for which they
have been designed, therefore, incubation temperatures and
incubation times differ depending on the SCBI being used.
Bionova® MiniBio allows independent time settings selection
for each one of the three incubation positions.
SCBIs for Ethylene Oxide (EO), should be incubated at
37°C,whilethoseusedforthemonitoringoftherestofthe
sterilization processes should be incubated at 60 °C.
!
Simultaneous incubation of SCBIs for monitoring EO processes
along with SCBIs for monitoring other sterilization processes is
not possible.

Please check the Product Compatibility and Incubation
programs section for more information about Incubation
Programs and new available Indicators for your Bionova®
MiniBio.
Bionova®MiniBio Auto-reader allows easy and rapid detection
of positive and negative SCBIs using advanced fluorescence
techniques. A positive result can also be evidenced by culture
medium color change when performing extended incubations.
Due to the high sensitivity of the fluorescence results, the
option to perform or not an extended incubation depends on
the internal protocols of each laboratory or hospital. Read the
instructions for use of the SCBI for more information.
Bionova®MiniBio Auto-reader also provides a printed ticket
each time an incubation is completed for recording the results.
This allows for easy result management, for documentation
compliance and safe-keeping.

a one-time automated test to check each position internal
status will be carried out (auto-test).
Once the test is complete, the green negative indicator light
will turn on to indicate that the position can be used to
perform readings. Otherwise, the red positive indicator light
will turn on to indicate that an error has occurred.
When the incubator detects an error in a position, the position
will be disabled to guarantee the reliability of the results and it
cannot be used to perform any further readings.
To indicate that a position has been disabled, the red positive
indicator light will blink indefinitely.
!
For the correct performance of the auto-test keep the
protective cover closed when the auto-test is running.
8|After the auto-test, readings can be initiated on any
incubation position if the position is not disabled. Place an
indicator in an SCBI reading position. The reading process
will start automatically after placing the SCBI. The incubator
will emit an audible notification, indicating that a reading has
successfully begun, at the same time the position status lights
will start blinking. Close the protective cover and wait until a
readout result is obtained.
Instructions for use !
Read and follow the SCBI’s instructions for use. Before placing
an SCBI in the incubator, press the top to seal the tube. Crush
the internal ampoule (either using the incubator’s ampoule
crusher or using the ampoule crusher included in the SCBI’s
box). Make sure that culture medium completely wets the
spore carrier at the base of the SCBI’s tube and agitate.
!
Do not remove or change the SCBI’s placement once a reading
process has begun or the reading will be cancelled. See the
Cancel reading section for further details. If the incubator
does not start a reading immediately after placing an SCBI in a
reading position, refer to the Troubleshooting section for more
information.
9|When a positive result is detected in a reading position, the
red positive indicator light will turn on and an audible alarm
will activate.
!
Press the button to cancel the audible alarm.
When a negative result is detected in a reading position, the
green negative indicator light will turn on. Once the SCBI is
removed, the green light will turn off automatically after 30
seconds. The position will be available to start a new reading
once the green negative indicator light has turned off. Please
refer to the Interpretation of results for more information.
Note: The incubation time setting defines the upper time
limit in which an incubator can inform a fluorescence readout.
Nevertheless, the incubator can detect and inform a positive
result before the selected time limit as part of its normal
operation. Please refer to the product compatibility and
incubation settings for more information.
10|Every time the incubator informs a uorescence result
(positive, negative, or canceled), a ticket will be printed to
register the result. Pull upward for the paper to be cut with the
serrated edge of the printer.
Note: If there is no paper for ticket printing, the blue

Remaining incubation time
The Bionova®MiniBio allows you to verify the remaining
incubation time in every reading position by ticket printing.
Whenever a reading process is in course, press and hold the
button for 3 seconds. A ticket will print, informing reading
position, incubation program and remaining incubation time.
To verify remaining incubation time of 2 or more readings in
course, press 2 buttons simultaneously; the device
renders a ticket, informing remaining incubation time of all
positions.
Cancellation of a reading
When an SCBI is removed from a position during the
incubation process, an audible alarm will be enabled.
At the same time, the red positive indicator light will start to
blink to indicate that the SCBI should be returned into its
original reading position.
If the SCBI is not placed back after 10 seconds of being
removed, the reading will be canceled automatically and a
ticket will be printed.
Interpretation of results
If a positive result is obtained (red light ) when
incubating an exposed SCBI, this indicates that the sterilization
process to which the SCBI was exposed has failed. This result
is valid if a positive result is obtained for the positive control
SCBI.
Take action immediately if a positive result is obtained when
incubating an exposed SCBI. Please refer to the sterilizer
instructions for use for more information.
If a negative result is obtained when incubating an exposed
SCBI (green light ), this indicates that the sterilization
process to which the SCBI was exposed has been successful.
This result is valid if a positive result is obtained for the positive
control SCBI.
!
A positive result should always be obtained by the incubator
when incubating a positive control SCBI. Refer to the Positive
control section for more information.
Positive control
A positive control is a non-sterilized SCBI used as a reference
during the incubation process. The use of a positive control is
a recommended practice as it helps to ensure:
The correct incubation temperature is reached.
Viability of spores has not been altered due to improper
storage temperature, humidity, or proximity to chemicals.
The aptitude of the media to promote rapid growth and
fluorescence generation.
Proper functioning of the incubator.
For the incubation of a positive control SCBI, first press the
cap to seal the SCBI and crush the ampoule, making sure
the media completely wets the spore carrier. Identify the
control SCBI on its label. Place the positive control in an empty
incubation position and incubate as described in the SCBI
instructions for use.
!
The positive control and the exposed SCBI should belong to
the same batch.
!
Incubate the positive control SCBI as specified on the SCBI
instructions for use.
Disposal
Discard the SCBIs according to your country’s sanitary
regulations. Positive SCBIs can be sterilized before discarding
following the SCBIs instructions for use. It is not possible to
use or incubate an SCBI more than once.

10 Bionova®MiniBio
Audible alarm
An audible alarm will sound every time a positive result is
detected by the incubator. The alarm allows the user to
immediately detect a positive result without the need to
visually check the device. The alarm can be canceled by
pressing the button.
