Challenge Testing means periodic monitoring or testing of a regulated medical waste treatment device or system that employs the use of biological indicators to demonstrate continued, effective operation of the device or system. The proposed regulation includes enhanced periodic challenge testing requirements. The proposed enhanced challenge testing includes the costs of zero to three additional biological indicators ($3 to $4 per indicator) per month beyond the current requirement, depending on the volume of waste treated. The number of biological indicators required per month corresponds to the volume of waste treated per load. Staff time for performing challenge tests is not anticipated to be lengthened by the use of additional biological indicators.
