Autoclave Indicator Strips Manufacturers

Product Description

Mediwish sterilization chemical indicating cards are designed to aid in distinguishing processed from

unprocessed products. The color transition from initial to final allows end users to easily identify goods which have

been exposed in a autoclave. Indicate exposure to a process to allow differentiation between unprocessed and processed items, and/or indicate gross failure of a sterilization process.

Use an indicator on each item, pack, peel pouch, or tray that will be steam sterilized. Place at a location considered most challenging for steam to reach. Process packages/items as instructed in the autoclave/sterilizer validation or manual.

Upon exposure to high temperature steam, the indicator will transition from pink to black. The transition color may varying depending on the load configuration, length and conditions of exposure. A color transition from pink to a shade of black provides indication of exposure to high temperature steam. If signal color is not achieved, this suggests ideal sterilization conditions were not met. Determine if the load was successfully sterilized by examining a biological indicator, or re-sterilize the load using a new chemical indicator.

The chemical reaction which causes the color transition is a steam specific reaction and is irreversible.
