Description

The STERILIZATION TEST CHEMICAL COMPLY STERI-GAGE STEAM 4 MIN is a Type 5 chemical integrator designed for rapid and reliable verification of steam sterilization processes. Engineered to provide a consistent and resistant challenge, the test pack ensures accurate monitoring of critical parameters including time, temperature, and saturated steam. This allows sterilization personnel to confirm the effectiveness of sterilization cycles with confidence, ensuring patient safety and regulatory compliance.

The integrator pack features a visual color-change indicator, transforming from a color bar to the accept zone upon successful sterilization. The immediate Accept/Reject results enable quick decision-making, reducing delays in instrument use and improving workflow efficiency. These chemical indicators serve as an early readout of sterilizer performance, complementing biological indicators or providing verification between monitored loads to detect sterilization process failures promptly.

This product is steam-compatible and provides reliable readings for both gravity displacement and dynamic-air-removal cycles. It responds to common sterilization conditions including 121°C (250°F) for 30 minutes, 132°C (270°F) for 4 minutes, and 135°C (275°F) for 3 minutes. The compact 2-inch length design ensures easy placement within instrument packs, trays, or peel pouches.
