The use of chemical indicators for internal monitoring of packs, trays, containers and peel pouches. 3M's wide range of chemical indicators immediately identify if the conditions for sterilization have been met on a pack-by-pack basis.
For use in 250°F (gravity) and 270°F (pre-vacuum and gravity) steam sterilizers. Indicator changes colour from white to black when exposed to steam sterilization conditions.
Strip has two purple ink bars that change colour in sequence during exposure to steam. A clear protective coating prevents the ink from touching items being sterilized. Laminated indicator for use in 250°F gravity and 270°F steam sterilizers.
Internal chemical integrators with a distinct end point to monitor exposure to all steam conditions and conditions of EO sterilization inside packs for warm and cool cycles of EO/HCFC mixture sterilizers.
Chemical indicators are used for pack control, which validates that the sterilant has penetrated to the point of placement in the pack and confirms that sufficient exposure conditions have been met.
