Instructions for Use1 Place the pack inside a normally loaded steam autoclave, in those areas which are considered most inaccessible for the sterilizing agent (e.g., the center of the load and areas near the door).
2 Run the sterilization cycle.
3 After the sterilization process has finished, open the sterilizer door, wait for 5 minutes and remove the test pack. NOTE: The color of the box may vary from the original after undergoing the sterilization cycle. This does not represent a problem regarding the operation or quality of the product.
4 Check that the process indicator printed on box has changed color from light blue to grey. Open the test pack and remove the integrating indicator. PRECAUTION: Wear safety glasses and gloves when removing the indicator from the sterilized test pack.
5 Check moving front chemical integrator for correct exposure. If the dark bar has reached the ACCEPT zone, this confirms that the inside of the pack has been exposed to sufficient sterilization conditions. For chemical integrator reference change, please refer to Result Reference Guide. Otherwise, check the sterilization process.
6 Fill out the required information on the Record Card.
7 Discard the pack immediately
