A sterilization system includes a vial, a carrier of microorganisms disposed in the vial, and a fluid management system having an output connectable to the vial for delivering a liquid chemical sterilant and a neutralizer thereto. Additionally, a growth medium may be delivered to the vial such that the vial and growth medium may assessed for a change to a visual characteristic indicative of sterilization inefficacy. L'invention concerne un système de stérilisation comprenant un flacon, un support de micro-organismes disposé dans le flacon et un système de gestion de fluide ayant une sortie pouvant être reliée au flacon pour distribuer un stérilisant chimique liquide et un neutralisant à celui-ci. De plus, un milieu de croissance peut être distribué au flacon, de telle sorte que le flacon et le milieu de croissance puissent être évalués à la recherche d'un changement d'une caractéristique visuelle indiquant une inefficacité de stérilisation.
