Features
-
Sterilization Effectiveness Monitoring:
- Designed to assess the effectiveness of air removal in vacuum-assisted steam sterilizers operating at 134 ºC for 3.5 minutes or 132 °C for 4 minutes.
-
Daily Use Requirement:
- Utilize the Chemdye Bowie & Dick Test Card on a daily basis, particularly after sterilizer installation, relocation, malfunction, sterilization process failures, or major sterilizer repairs.
-
Permanent Record Capability:
- The Type 2, metals-free chemical indicator includes a space on the back for recording cycle information, allowing for a permanent record of the sterilization process.
-
Distinct Color Change Indicator:
- The chemical indicator changes from purple to green during processing. An uneven color change, specifically the presence of purple, signals the existence of an air pocket, indicating a sterilizer malfunction.
-
Comprehensive Kit Inclusion:
- The Bowie & Dick test card kit for steam sterilization processes includes both the Bowie & Dick-Test Card Chemical Indicators and a holder, providing a complete solution for effective monitoring.
-
Simple Daily Usage Instructions:
- Insert the Bowie & Dick Test Card with the indicator side facing up into a suitable holder, place it horizontally on the bottom rack near the sterilizer drain, and run the cycle for the specified time and temperature.
-
Early Cycle Usage Recommendation:
- To properly heat up the sterilizer, run a shortened cycle (excluding post-vacuum drying) before the first sterilization cycle of the day, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
