Sterilization indicator

chemicalmedicalfor the pharmaceutical industry

STERIM® Control 5 test allows monitoring of the steam sterilization process in various types of autoclaves, in accordance with the PN EN ISO 11140-1 standard. The Type 5 indicator does not require color interpretation, making it convenient and easy to use. Type 5 indicator allows evaluation of three key parameters: time, temperature, and steam penetration under pressure. Unlike most chemical tests, no color interpretation of the test field is required. In the STERIM® Control 5 test, confirmation of meeting the required parameters is indicated by the movement of the indicator substance. Type 5 chemical test is divided into two zones – white and blue. During sterilization, a dark strip appears in the white area at the center of the strip and gradually moves toward the blue zone. Upon completion of the cycle, reaching the blue zone indicates a positive control result. The test strip of the integrated Type 5 test should be placed inside the sterilization package. After the cycle, check whether the dark strip has reached the blue zone. Advantages : - reliable assessment of key steam sterilization parameters, - compatible with Control PCD load monitoring set, - easy test result reading without interpreting color.
