Modern hospitals use chemical and biological methods to test whether sterilization is qualified. Both methods are usually completed through sterilization process challenge devices. Among them: the biological method is to place a biological indicator in a challenge device or directly into a sterilization device. After the sterilization work is completed, the biological indicator is cultured to observe whether there are surviving microorganisms in the biological indicator to determine whether the sterilization work is qualified. The biological method can more intuitively indicate the sterilization effect.
