Chamber‑wide Assessment

Detects inadequate air removal, residual non‑condensable gases, and poor steam quality.

Instant Readout

Strong center‑to‑edge contrast simplifies pass/fail interpretation and documentation.

Routine Monitoring

Ideal for daily testing prior to releasing loads—supports quality assurance of CSSD cycles.

How to Use

  • Place one test pack in an empty sterilizer chamber on the bottom shelf above the drain (or as per hospital SOP).
  • Run a pre‑vacuum cycle at 134°C for 3.5 minutes (or as per equipment manufacturer guidance).
  • Open the pack and evaluate the indicator sheet. A uniform transition to black indicates a pass; uneven or incomplete change indicates a fail.
  • Record batch, date, sterilizer ID, and operator signature for traceability.
