Once-A-Day® Ecos™ Bowie-Dick Test is a compact eco-friendly, lead free method of daily sterilizer testing designed for pre-vacuum sterilizer mechanical air removal testing. Used to monitor sterilizer function at the start of each day, or after routine or other maintenance. Once-A-Day® Ecos™ detects low temperature/pressure conditions, wet & superheated steam.
For use at 273.5°F/134°C using a 3.5 min exposure time
Features:
How It Works:
Processed / Unprocessed: Ecos™ process indicator on box can quickly tell you if pack has been processed.
Here is a sample of "unprocessed" indicator
Pass: A clear blue to pink color change indicates a fully functioning sterilizer and signals that you can proceed with load processing.
This Bowie-Dick test then goes a step farther to actually detect and indicate the sterilizer malfunctions.
Ecos™ helps identify the specific reason for failure with distinct dye patterns after exposure

Instructions
- Preheat sterilizer before running the test.
- After the preheat cycle place one test pack on the lowest shelf over the drain. The sterilizer must be empty except for the test pack
- Run a normal sterilization cycle at 273.5°F/134°C using a 3.5 min exposure time, do not exceed 4 min exposure time
- At the end of the cycle, remove the test pack from the sterilizer. Caution: pack and contents may be hot
- Remove the test sheet from the pack and examine the indicator test pattern
Warning: Extending the recommended time for the Once-A-Day® Ecos™ test pack over 4 minutes will invalidate results because entrapped air diffuses over time.
- Lead and heavy metal-free ink, sheets and ink are non-toxic and safe for environment
- latex-free
