摘要：
System combined sterilization indicator, incubator and reader (100), comprising: a vial sterilization indicator (110, 300, 610) containing a selected biological indicator and a liquid, wherein the vial sterilization indicator (110, 300 , 610) comprises a construction material, a bottom panel (120, 320), an inner cavity and an outer side surface being adapted both the construction material as the outer side surface to transmit light emanating from the interior cavity, the bottom panel being adapted to transmit light directed onto the bottom panel within the interior cavity； at least two incubators blocks (1, 2, ... n) being operable independently each block incubator to incubate the vial sterilization indicator (110, 300, 610) to a plurality of selectable temperatures independently, each comprising incubators blocks: (a) at least one heating element (114) operable to heat the incubator block to any one of the plurality of independently selectable temperature； (B) at least one well (108), each well being associated with one heating element (114), and each well being dimensioned to receive and hold the vial sterilization indicator (110, 300, 610)； (C) a light source (118) positioned relative to each well (108) to direct light source through the bottom panel (120, 320) within the interior cavity of the vial sterilization indicator (110, 300 , 610) when the vial sterilization indicator (110, 300, 610) is in the well (108)； (D) a photodetector (122) positioned to detect output light emanating from the interior cavity, the photodetector (122) being positioned at an angle relative to a direction from which the light source is directed through the panel bottom (120) of the vial sterilization indicator (110, 300, 610)； (E) a user interface (104) operatively communicating with a control system (102), the control system (102) hardware operable to: separately control each heating element (114) to operate at a selected selectable temperatures, operating the light source (118), op
