Profile: Raven Biological Laboratories, Inc. manufactures biological indicators for validating sterilization processes. Our product line includes self-contained biological indicators, spore strips, suspensions, specialty carriers, incubators, chemical indicators and integrators. We offer a complete line of spore strips for sterility testing in various sterilization environments for both healthcare and industrial applications. Our ProSpore ampoule is a hermetically sealed, type I borosilicate glass ampoule. It is a self-contained biological indicator available for use in healthcare or industrial steam sterilization. Our ProSpore2 is a self contained biological indicator for use in either steam or ethylene oxide(Eto) sterilization. Each unit is made up of a plastic container with cap, a crushable glass ampoule with recovery media, and a paper disc inoculated with spores.

The company was founded in 1949, has revenues of USD 1-5 Million, has ~40 employees and is ISO 11138, ISO 13485:2003, CE certified.

• Biological Indicators (FDA Code: MRB / 880.2800)

A biological sterilization process indicator is a device intended for use by a health care provider to accompany products being sterilized through a sterilization procedure and to monitor adequacy of sterilization. The device consists of a known number of microorganisms, of known resistance to the mode of sterilization, in or on a carrier and enclosed in a protective package. Subsequent growth or failure of the microorganisms to grow under suitable conditions indicates the adequacy of sterilization.

• Biological Sterilization Process Indicator (FDA Code: FRC / 880.2800)

• Chemical Indicators

• Culture Media Supplements (FDA Code: JSK / 866.2450)

A supplement for culture media is a device, such as a vitamin or sugar mixture, that is added to a solid or liquid basal culture medium to produce a desired formulation and that is intended for medical purposes to enhance the growth of fastidious microorganisms (those having complex nutritional requirements). This device aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

• Dialysis Standard-Conductivity Solution-Test (FDA Code: FKH / 876.5820)

A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.

• Incubators

• Non-Remote Conductivity Meter (FDA Code: FIZ / 876.5820)

• pH Buffer (FDA Code: JCC / 864.4010)

• Physical/Chemical Sterilization Process Indicator (FDA Code: JOJ / 880.2800)

• Pressure Tubing and Accessories (FDA Code: BYX / 868.5860)

Pressure tubing and accessories are flexible or rigid devices intended to deliver pressurized medical gases.

• Remote Type Induction Conductivity Meter (FDA Code: FLB / 876.5820)

• Spore Strips

• Sterilization Containers

• Water Purification Subsystem (FDA Code: FIP / 876.5665)

A water purification system for hemodialysis is a device that is intended for use with a hemodialysis system and that is intended to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from water used to dilute dialysate concentrate to form dialysate. This generic type of device may include a water softener, sediment filter, carbon filter, and water distillation system.
