3M™ Every Load Monitoring (ELM) Program - because every patient matters.

When healthcare facilities commit to standardized Every Load Monitoring, it's about more than just doing the right thing or exceeding industry standards. It means simplicity and consistency in helping ensure that every surgical instrument and device is sterilized and monitored before use.

Monitoring every load with a biological indicator (BI) remains the only method to measure the lethality of every sterilization cycle providing the highest level of sterility assurance. When a positive biological indicator result occurs indicating a sterilization failure, AAMI ST79* recommends the recall of every load processed since the last negative BI.
