About SPSmedical's lab

SPSmedical is a FDA registered facility and the largest sterilizer testing lab in North America. We are also a corporate member of both AAMI (medical) and OSAP (dental). No lab is more experienced in providing healthcare facilities with 3rd party legal documentation of their sterilizer's spore test results.

All spore tests are processed the same day our lab receives them to ensure that results are known as soon as possible. This web site allows all our customers to check the results of their spore tests on a daily basis. All negative spore tests (passed) are recorded, and lab reports are sent out either by fax, or mail.

In the event of a positive spore test (failure), the lab performs a gram stain to validate the result. This is done to verify that the growth was indeed caused by sterilizer malfunction and not from any outside contamination. A confidential phone call is immediately made to notify the customer of the failure and to provide them with technical support per CDC guidelines.

In addition to biologically monitoring sterilizers, SPSmedical also provides facilities with a complete line of sterility assurance products offered through authorized distributors worldwide. The complete SPSmedical line can be seen at www.spsmedical.com.
