Instructions for Use
1. Carefully open the package and remove only the number of indicators needed.
Reseal the package tightly.
2. Place a Integron® IT26-C indicator in each pack, peel pouch, container system or tray to be steam sterilized in the most inaccessible area to sterilizing agent.
3. Perform de sterilization cycle.
4. After the sterilization process has finished, the dark bar should have reached the ACCEPT zone. If the dark bar has not reached the ACCEPT zone, a REJECT result is indicated and the items in the pack, peel pouch, container system, or tray were not exposed to proper steam sterilization conditions. These items should be reprocessed according to established procedures and a new IT26-C has to be used.
Despite this, regarding cycle integration parameters, this process can be considered as accepted. In case the indicator shows a damp appearance after the sterilization process, Terragene® recommend planning an equipment´s maintenance.
Precautions:
Do not expose to EO, Dry Heat, or any sterilization process other than Steam.
Do not reuse.
