Features
-
Defined Challenge Resistance:
- Offers a defined challenge resistance against claimed cycles, demonstrating equivalence to AAMI/ANSI 16 towel pack for reliable routine monitoring and sterilizer qualification in steam sterilization processes.
-
Global Monitoring Solution:
- Designed for global use, Integron monitors dynamic air removal steam sterilization processes at 132/135 °C ≥ 4 minutes and gravity air displacement processes at 121 °C ≥ 30 minutes outside the United States.
-
Effective Sterilization Evaluation:
- Simulating a load to be sterilized, the PCD evaluates the performance of the sterilization process by detecting inadequate air removal and steam penetration. It aids in routine monitoring and periodic validation of sterilizers.
-
Integrated Chemical Indicator:
- The PCD includes an C5-INTG-S moving front chemical integrator (Type 5 according to ISO 11140-1:2014 standard) that indicates the kill time of a theoretical spores population, ensuring the integration condition is met.
-
Self-Adhesive Record Card:
- Featuring a PCD record card, the device allows for recording sterilization cycle information. The dark bar migration on the ACCEPT/REJECT zone of the integrating indicator helps quickly assess whether sterilization conditions were met.
-
Versatile Process Indicator:
- The pack includes a process indicator (Type 1 according to ISO 11140-1:2014 standard) on the outside, facilitating the identification of exposure to the sterilization process with a color change from light blue to grey.
-
Precise Instructions and Precautions:
- Clear instructions guide users on proper placement, sterilization cycle execution, result analysis, and precautions.
- Important warnings highlight restrictions on use for specific sterilization processes and emphasize proper evaluation before resuming sterilizer use.

Instructions for Use
1 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
