True Indicating Multi-critical Process Variable Indicator Strips contain no lead or other toxic heavy metals. The Indicator Strips are intended for use with individual materials (i.e pouches, pack. Tray) to demonstrate that the material has been exposed to a steam sterilization process to distinguish between processed and unprocessed goods. The indicator strips will transition from an initial Yellow color to a Dark/Black color when exposed to steam.

True Indicating Integrating Indicator strips contain no lead or other toxic heavy metals. The Indicator Strips monitor whether sterilisation conditions were met at the point of placement of the strip. The Indicator Strips are intended for use in steam sterilizers operating at 121°C and up to 135°C. Type 5 integrating indicators react to all critical variables (time, temperature and moisture) and reach an end point indicating exposure to sterilisation conditions at defined by True Indicating’s stated values.

True Indicating Emulating Indicator Strips contain no lead or other toxic heavy metals. The Indicator Strips monitor whether sterilization conditions were met. The Indicator Strips transition from Blue to Dark with the word “NOT” being completely concealed with effective conditions. The Indicator Strips are intended for use in steam sterilizers operating at 121°C and up to 134°C. Type 6 Emulating Indicators react to all critical vari-ables (time, temperature and moisture) and reach an end point color indicating exposure to conditions as defined by True Indicating’s stated values.

Mini Self-Contained Biological Indicators (MSCBIs) for monitoring Steam processes consist of:

• A polypropylene vial and cap
• A crushable media ampule which contains modified Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) with a pH indicator. The modified TSB will transition from the initial Purple color to Yellow and/or demonstrate turbidity in the presence of bacterial growth.
• An inoculated carrier (disc) of Geobacillus stearothermophilus Cell Line 7953 with a population level of 106 . 

Physical Properties

• Process: Steam
• Dimensions 8.3 mm x 46 mm
• Packaging 100 per box
• Chemical Indicator: Each MSCBI contains a Chemical Indicator (CI) on the vial label. The CI should transition from Pink to Brown when exposed to a steam process.

True Indicating Bowie Dick (BD) Test Packs contain no lead or other toxic heavy metals and are made of recyclable materials. The Test Packs contain an internal Indicator sheet which is used to evaluate the effi-cacy of air removal and steam penetration in pre-vacuum sterilizers. A uniform color change to Pink of the internal Indicator sheet provides evidence that the sterilizer has successfully removed air and can allow steam to penetrate a load placed in the chamber. The Test Packs are for use in pre-vacuum steam steriliz-ers operating at 121°C and 134°C. The Test Packs simulate a 7kg cotton pack according to ISO 11140-4 Type 2 and EN 867-4 Class B.
