New Technology Offers Practices an Alterative Way to Approach Biological Monitoring

---

FDA-cleared InstaTru biological indicator for steam sterilization is designed to provide results in 20 seconds without traditional incubation.

True Indicating has developed InstaTru, an FDA-cleared instant biological indicator for steam sterilization that provides results without traditional incubation. The new product was showcased at last week’s ADA Scientific Session in Indianapolis.

For dental practices, InstaTru offers an alternative to conventional mail-back biological monitoring programs by providing results at the point of use. When used with the company’s app, the test result and associated cycle information can be captured and securely stored in the cloud, creating a readily accessible historical record for the practice.

The FDA-approved instant biological indicator for steam delivers results in 20 seconds. The process is paperless compliant—secure, traceable, and audit ready, according to True Indicating.

The company believes this technology could represent a significant advancement in how dental practices perform and document biological monitoring. The instant results ensure patient safety, eliminate risks, and provide practices with immediate confidence. InstaTru can save staff time and streamline workflows.

True Indicating will exhibit at the Greater New York Dental Meeting at booth #3631 from November 29 through December 1. For more information, visit trueindicating.com .
