3M™ Equipment Control products reveal if the sterilizer is operating to set conditions of time, temperature, pressure, air removal, moisture conditioning and sterilant exposure.
These test packs present a challenging situation within the sterilizer to monitor its performance. A sophisticated Class 5 integrating chemical indicator inside a porous PCD pack shows that effective sterilant penetration has occurred.
Designed for pre-vacuum sterilizers to test the efficacy of the vacuum system to remove air from the sterilizer chamber and to detect leaks in the system that would allow air into the chamber.
Chemical monitors that indicate if a glutaraldehyde solution meets the manufacturer's recommendation for a minimum effective concentration (MEC) needed to effectively kill organisms.
