Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A biologic indicator is a preparation of living endospores that are resistant to the sterilizing agent. The preparation may be supplied in a self-contained system or in sealed vials or ampules of endospores in suspension. If sterilization has occurred, the processed biologic unit will not grow any microorganisms (negative).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Using custom packs reduces turnover time between procedures, and the disposable components are specified by the user to accommodate the procedure being performed. Use of custom packs helps reduce inventory so that a minimal backup of supplies can be maintained.
