Characteristics

Type 5 Integrating Indicator (according to ISO 11140-1).

Size: 52 mm x 21 mm.

Chemical Integrator consists of a paper wick and a steam and temperature sensitive chemical pellet contained in a paper/film/foil laminate. The chemical pellet melts and migrates as a dark bar along the paper wick. The migration is visible through a zone marked ACCEPT or REJECT, thus indicating whether sterilization conditions were met. The extent of migration depends on steam quality, time, and temperature.

The ACCEPT result is reached when a theoretical spore population reaches its kill time, indicating integration condition has been reached. This condition is calibrated with the kill time of 106ย Geobacillus stearothermophilusย spore population, calculated in BIER (Biological Indicator Evaluator Resistometer). Conditions: saturated steam at 121 ยฐC, 128 ยฐC, 135 ยฐC.

Optionally, the readout of the chemical indicator can be done using Trazanto Automatic Quality Control and Traceability System (see instructions for use in deviceยดs manual).
