Bowie-Dick Test Packs are used for equipment control as a way to find out whether or not your steriliser is doing it's job properly by detecting air leaks and inadequate air removal and steam penetration for vacuum-assisted steam sterilisers.
Includes Comply Bowie-Dick PlusTest Pack with early warning test sheet.
Bowie-Dick test packs should be used daily, after a steriliser is installed, relocated, after steriliser malfunction, after sterilisation process failures, and after any major repairs of the steriliser.
The 3M Comply 00135 Bowie-Dick Plus Test Pack with Early Warning Test Sheet consists of chemical indicators on two test sheets positioned inside porous materials and sealed inside a disposable outer wrap. In addition to the regular Bowie-Dick test sheet, a sensitive early warning indicator sheet identifies problems sooner so the steriliser may be repaired before it must be taken out of use.
All Bowie-Dick products have the same light-yellow chemical indicator that turns a uniform dark brown/black if the steriliser is functioning. Any unexpected colour change, such as the centre of the test sheet being paler or a different colour than the edges (i.e., there is a non-uniform colour change) indicates that there was an air pocket present during the cycle due to steriliser malfunction.
