ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for testing the efficacy of a sterilizing environment on a test indicator, comprising a test chamber, a loading chamber adjacent to the test chamber and an opening connecting the test chamber to the loading chamber. A movable gate mechanism has a first position closing the opening and isolating the test chamber from the loading chamber, and a second position wherein the opening connects the test chamber to the loading chamber. A system is connected to the inlet port and the outlet port of the test chamber for supplying a sterilant vapor to the test chamber to establish a sterilizing environment in the test chamber. An indicator holder is operable to move a test indicator from the loading chamber into and out of the test chamber when the gate mechanism is in the second position.
