Chemical Integrator for Steam Sterilization, Type 5

Packaging: Bag contains 250 pieces

The Chemical Integrator for Steam Sterilization is a high-precision Type 5 integrating indicator engineered for the comprehensive monitoring of steam sterilization cycles. Utilizing a "moving front" chemical technology, the device features a specialized chemical pellet that melts and migrates along a visible wick in direct response to the three critical sterilization parameters: saturated steam quality, exposure time, and temperature. This migration provides a clear, binary visual readout that correlates with the biological kill time of resistant microorganisms, offering an immediate and reliable assessment of sterilization efficacy within the most inaccessible areas of a load.

Features:

• Type 5 Integration Performance: Classified as a Type 5 integrating indicator according to ISO 11140-1, providing a level of accuracy that mirrors the performance of biological indicators.
• Biological Correlation: Calibrated to reach the "ACCEPT" zone only when a theoretical 106 Geobacillus stearothermophilus spore population reaches its kill time, as calculated in a Biological Indicator Evaluator Resistometer (BIER).
• Binary Interpretation Interface: Features distinct "ACCEPT" and "REJECT" zones, eliminating the subjectivity of color-shade interpretation and providing a definitive dark-bar readout of cycle success.
• Broad Thermal Validation: Specifically engineered for use in saturated steam cycles at standard temperatures of 121∘C, 128∘C, and 135∘C.
• Digital Traceability Compatibility: Optionally compatible with the Trazanto Automatic Quality Control and Traceability System for digitized record-keeping and automated result analysis.
• Versatile Placement: Designed for internal monitoring within individual packs, peel pouches, container systems, or surgical trays to ensure steam penetration in the "cold spots" or most inaccessible areas.
• Equipment Diagnostic Utility: Provides a secondary diagnostic function; a damp or moisture-saturated appearance of the indicator after a cycle serves as an early warning for necessary equipment maintenance.
