Plug unit into an appropriate AC grounded outlet. Readout Procedure Follow this procedure for every RRBI to be read: Allow a 30 minute warm-up period before placing RRBIs into the incubation wells.http://sooam.com/files/fckeditor/12346972125f4188356dda3.xml The C1 caution code will disappear when proper incubation temperature is reached. It is recommended that the unit be left on to eliminate warm-up periods. The unit may be turned off when it is anticipated that it will not be used for an extended period. Step 1. While wearing gloves and safety glasses, CLOSE RRBI cap by pressing down. Step 2. CRUSH the glass ampule (containing growth media) in the designated crushing well built into the incubator. Step 3. Hold the RRBI by the cap and TAP bottom of the vial on a tabletop until media wets spore strip at bottom of vial. Do not tap vial on unit. Do not remove or change placement of RRBI once it is placed into a well. Doing so may result in loss of results and the RRBI test may be invalid. 3M Page 4 of 9 Attest 290 Auto-reader 7 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Wells are color coded to match the cap of each type of biological indicator; i.e. the 1291 RRBI with a blue cap goes into a blue well and the 1292 RRBI with a brown cap goes into a brown well. A yellow light will come on to indicate the RRBI is incubating in the reader well and should not be touched. A yellow light indicates the results are not available and incubation is in progress. C2 Caution code will also be displayed. You must return the RRBI to the reader well within 10 seconds or the results will be lost. WARNING Do not remove or change placement of RRBI once it is placed into a well. Doing so may result in loss of results and the RRBI test may be invalid. All red, yellow and green lights will flash for one second when the cover is opened demonstrating they are functional. The cover should only be opened when placing additional RRBIs into incubation wells or when removing RRBIs at the completion of the designated incubation period. The full incubation period is required before a negative result (-) is shown. The Attest 1291 RRBI requires 1 hour of incubation and the Attest 1292 RRBI requires 3 hours of incubation before a negative (-) result will be shown.http://www.drupalitalia.org/node/66597 The negative result will be shown automatically after completion of the required incubation time. The processed indicator and the positive control may also be further incubated for a visual ph color change. The final negative reading (media remains purple) for a visual color change is made at 24 hours (1291) or 48 hours (1292). The positive control should show a yellow color change of the growth media. For any incubation beyond 24 hours (1291) or 48 hours (1292), RRBIs should be moved to a humidified environment. Each facility must establish final readout time in its policy and procedures. The policy should be based on manufacturer s instructions for use, scientific knowledge, current recommendation practices, applicable compliance requirements, inventory levels, and the risk to the patient if the medical device is not sterile. 3M Page 5 of 9 Attest 290 Auto-reader 8 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Positive Control Crush, tap and incubate at least one non-processed Attest 1291 or 1292 RRBI to use as the positive control each day that a processed RRBI is incubated and read by the unit. Write a C (for control ) and the date on the label. The positive control can be placed in any incubator well of the unit. The positive control should be the same part number, from the same manufacturing date and lot number as the processed RRBI in the unit. It is good practice to use a positive control each day a sterilized RRBI is processed. This helps ensure: - correct incubation temperatures are met. - viability of spores has not been altered due to improper storage temperature, humidity, or proximity to chemicals - capability of media to promote rapid growth, and - proper functioning of Attest 290 Auto-reader components. At the end of the specified incubation time, if a negative RRBI result is detected, the green light (-) will illuminate indicating an acceptable sterilization process. After either the green or red light comes on, the RRBI can be removed from the well.DBGROUP-PORTUGAL.COM/images/3m-724-workstation-monitor-manual.pdf The RRBI should not be removed or touched when the yellow light is on. The final negative processed RRBI reading for a fluorescence change (green light -) after 1 hour (1291) or 3 hours (1292) indicates an acceptable sterilization process. If the processed RRBI is further incubated for a visual ph color change, when special studies are desired, the media color change from purple to yellow will also indicate a sterilization failure. The positive control should show a yellow color change at 24 hours (1291) or 48 hours (1292). A final negative color change result (no color change), media remains purple, is made at 24 hours (1291) or 48 hours (1292). Act on any positive result immediately. The positive result indicates a sterilization process failure may have occurred. Determine the cause of the positive RRBI following current facility policies and procedures. Always retest the sterilizer and do not use the sterilizer for processing loads until 3 consecutive RRBI results are negative. Disposal Dispose of the used Attest RRBI according to your healthcare facility policy. This provides results in the least amount of time without the need to manually take frequent readings. An alarm will also sound if a RRBI is removed from the Attest 290 Auto-reader well before a final result has been detected. This will turn off the alarm for that RRBI only. Any positive RRBI results detected in other wells will result in the alarm sounding. Removing the RRBI will reactivate the alarm for that well. Pressing the alarm off button will not silence the alarm for error or caution code alarm warnings. A yellow period will appear on the lower right corner of the display panel to indicate the alarm is disabled. The alarm will be disabled for all positive RRBIs, error codes, and caution code alarm warnings. The yellow period on the display panel will turn off, indicating that the alarm is again active. The time remaining appears in hours until there is less than an hour remaining when it displays minutes remaining. Temperature Monitoring The Attest 290 Auto-reader contains an internal temperature self-diagnostic program. Power Cord Retaining Clip Place the power cord through the power cordretaining clip on the rear of the Attest 290 Autoreader near the plug in. This will help to ensure that the power connection does not become inadvertently disconnected. Care and Cleaning WARNING Always unplug the Attest 290 Autoreader and allow to cool before cleaning. Do not immerse the unit in liquid. Clean the exterior surface of the Attest 290 Autoreader, with the dust cover closed, by wiping it with a damp cloth moistened with a mild detergent. Do not open the dust cover and attempt to clean interior components. If additional cleaning of the wells is required, call for repair or replacement.

Sign up now. This angle ranges from 0 to 90E. II. Important Geometrical Terms (A) Apparent dip: dip (incline) of a plane in a vertical plane that is not perpendicular to the strike. The maximum angle is 90 degrees (vertical). The angle of inclination of a plane is termed dip, for a line it is referred to as the plunge. (H) Lineation: general tern for a geological feature that is best represented by a line (mineral lineation, stretched pebbles, fold hinge, etc.) (I) Pitch: the angle between a line and the strike of the plane that contains the line. Pitch is synonymous with rake. (J) Plunge: angle of inclination of a line measured in a vertical plane. (K) Plunge direction: trend of a plunging line. (L) Quadrant: a compass direction measured 0-90 degrees from north or south. Note that 360 azimuth is the same strike as 0. (O) Trace: the line formed by the intersection of two non-parallel surfaces. (P) Trend: azimuth direction of a line in map view. II. Attitude of Planes (A) Bedding, cleavage, foliation, joints, faults, axial plane are some of the geological structures that are represented as a plane. Although some of these features are actually curviplanar (i.e. curved surfaces), over short distances their tangent surfaces can be considered planar. (B) The linear attitude component of a plane that is measured in the horizontal reference plane is termed the strike. The strike of a plane is defined as the compass direction formed by the intersection of that plane with a horizontal reference plane. Another way to 1-2 define strike is simply as the compass direction of the horizontal line contained in the geological plane of interest. The only situation where the above definitions are ambiguous would be the special case where the plane of interest is horizontal, in which case there are an infinite number of horizontal lines in the plane. This avoids confusion with plunge or dip. (E) The dip of a plane defines its attitude relative to the vertical reference. There are two types of dip values: 1. True dip- all planes have only one unique value for true dip 2. Apparent dip- all planes have many possible apparent dip values that range from zero to less than, but not equal to, the true dip value. (F) The dip angle is the angle measured in a vertical plane from the horizontal down to the plane of interest. The true dip is always measured in the vertical plane that trends perpendicular to the strike of the plane. A dip angle measured in a vertical plane trending in any other map direction will always yield an apparent dip value less than that of the true dip. An apparent dip measured parallel to strike always will yield a dip angle of 0E. (G) Dip values always are in the range 0-90E. Northeast Strike (0-090 azimuth) Northwest Strike (270-360 azimuth) True dip trends east SE NE True dip trends west NW SW (I) Note that it is unnecessary to measure the exact compass direction of the dip direction since it is by definition 90E from the strike. A full strike and dip might be recorded as: N45EE, 30ESE (quadrant strike first, then dip and dip direction) 045E, 30ESE (Strike azimuth first, then dip and dip direction) (J) Several different map symbols have been agreed upon by geologists to represent specific planar structures on geologic maps. All of the symbols have these characteristics in common: 1. The long dimension of the symbol is parallel to the strike line. 2. A tic mark or arrow oriented perpendicular to strike will point in the dip direction. One should always explain the meaning of all symbols used within the map legend. (L) Besides strike and dip several alternative methods have been used to define a 3D planar attitude: 1. Right-hand rule: the azimuth direction of the strike is recorded such that the true dip is inclined to the right of the observer. In this case the strike azimuth could be to any quadrant. For example, the traditional strike and dip of 320, 55SW would be recorded as 140, 55. 2. Dip azimuth and Dip angle: this method relies on the implicit 90E angle between the true dip azimuth and the strike. The observer measures the dip azimuth and then the true dip angle. For example, a traditional strike and dip of 1-4 320, 55SW would instead be 050, 55. III. Attitude of Lines (A) Many geological structures such as fold hinges, mineral lineation, igneous flow lineation, intersection lineation, fault striations, flute casts, etc., possess a linear geometry in three-dimensional space. (B) Strike and dip cannot be used to measure the attitude of a line. Bearing and Plunge are the two components of linear attitude. (C) The plunge of a line is the angle that the line makes with the horizontal reference measured in a vertical plane. The plunge angle ranges from 0-90E. (D) The projection of the linear feature directly to the horizontal reference plane forms a line that is the bearing of the linear element. The bearing, like the strike, is measured relative to the compass direction. In this course we will normally use azimuth rather than compass quadrants to indicate bearing direction. (E) Although the bearing is measured in the same horizontal reference plane as the strike, its trend may be to any quadrant of the compass. This is because the bearing of the linear feature describes the compass direction of the plunge inclination, which could be in any direction. (F) To clearly distinguish it from a strike and dip, a linear attitude may be written as a plunge and bearing with the plunge angle first: 55E, 145E (plunge angle first, then the bearing azimuth) Although this convention is not universally followed. (G) A plunge angle value of 0E describes a horizontal line. A plunge angle of 90E denotes a vertical line, in which case the bearing is undefined since it has no component parallel to the horizontal reference. (H) Another term may be used to describe the attitude of a line if the line lies within a plane of known strike and dip. This value is the rake or pitch angle, and it is defined as the angle made by the line with the strike line of the plane in which it is contained. The direction end of the strike line from which the angle is measured must be noted to fix the attitude of the line. (I) Linear elements are displayed on a geologic map with a variety of features. The long dimension of these symbols describes the trend with an arrow pointing in the plunge 1-5 compass direction. The numeric value next to the arrowhead is the plunge angle value in degrees. (J) Since many lineations are intimately related to certain planar features, such as a metamorphic mineral lineation contained within a planar foliation, these two structural elements may be combined into a composite map symbol on geologic maps. IV. The Pocket Transit (Brunton Compass) (A) The traditional survey instrument of the geologist has been the Brunton Compass or pocket transit, although the alidade and plane table is used in studies where more accuracy is needed. (B) The Brunton contains a magnetic needle that always seeks true magnetic north. On most, but not all, Bruntons, the white end of the needle points to magnetic north. (C) The perimeter of the compass is divided into degrees based on one of two formats: 1. Quadrant- four quadrants (NE, SE, NW, SW) of 90E each. 2. Azimuth - 0 to 360E.
