How often should spore testing be done in autoclaves?

  1. 1x/day

  2. 1x/week

  3. 2x/week

  4. 1x/month

The correct answer is: 1x/week

Spore testing, also known as biological indicator testing, should be performed at least once a week in autoclaves to ensure that the equipment is effectively sterilizing materials. This allows for any issues or malfunctions to be identified and corrected in a timely manner. Performing the test less frequently, such as once a month, can lead to a greater risk of contamination and potential health hazards. Similarly, testing too often, such as once a day, can be resource-intensive and unnecessary. Therefore, the recommended frequency for spore testing in autoclaves is once a week.
