Description

Bowie-Dick Steam Test Packs are designed to provide a more accurate and compact alternative to traditional Bowie-Dick tests. These tests are commonly used to evaluate the performance of steam sterilizers, ensuring that sterilization conditions are met effectively. Compared to conventional tests, Bowie-Dick Steam Test Packs are more environmentally friendly and cost-effective, making them an ideal solution for both small and large healthcare settings.

These test packs are designed to check for both air leaks and the presence of wet steam, critical factors in achieving effective sterilization. They are specifically used to detect air leaks in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers at a temperature of 270°F (132°C) with a minimum exposure time of 3.5 minutes.

The test packs feature a distinctive color change that is easy to read, providing a clear indication of whether the sterilization process was successful. The color change is irreversible, ensuring that the results are permanent and reliable. This provides confidence in the sterilization process, preventing the use of ineffective sterilized equipment.
