PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in a conventional test tool for a step of confirming sterilization in which difficulty in sterilization of a medical apparatus having complicated configuration is reconstructed that: it is required to be produced in a specific molding/machining because of its essential complicated configuration, or there is a risk of erroneous determination in sterilization due to invasion of a sterilizing agent from a connecting part of parts and it is required to correct and modify the configuration by molding/machining new parts for reconstruction of a variety of medical tools.SOLUTION: There is provided a test tool for a step of confirming sterilization having a feature that: into a tubular component constructed with a single part having a closed end and no connecting part, a sterilized indicator holding microorganisms is inserted at its closed end side and a component is inserted at a position between an opening end of the tubular component and the microorganism holding part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】複雑な形状を有する医療機器の滅菌されにくさを再現した従来の滅菌確認用工程試験用具は、必然的に複雑な形状をしており、特別に成型・加工する必要があるか、部品接続部から滅菌剤の侵入により滅菌成否を誤判定する恐れがある。また様々な医療器具を再現するためには、新たに部品を成型・加工し形状を修正変更しなければならない。【解決手段】一方が閉じた接続部のない単一部品からなる管状構造体内部の閉端側に、微生物を保持した滅菌インジケーターと、前記管状構造体開口側から前記微生物保持部までの間に構造体が挿入されたことを特徴とする、滅菌確認用工程試験用具を提供する。【選択図】図1
