3M Comply Bowie Dick Test - Steam Pack of 6 (1233LF)

An
Equipment Monitor that is designed for dynamic-air-removal sterilizers
to test the efficacy of the vacuum system to remove air from the
sterilizer chamber and detect leaks in the system

As an Equipment Monitor, the 3M™ Comply™ Bowie-Dick Test Pack #1233 is
designed to monitor the performance of vacuum-assisted 132°C-134°C
(270°F - 273°F) steam sterilizers each day. Test packs will reproducibly
detect residual air in the sterilizer chamber due to air leaks, air
removal failures and inadequate vacuum - any of which can compromise
sterility. Complies to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-5:2007 Class 2.

• Make testing steam penetration and air removal, as well as detecting air leaks, more convenient and cost effective
• Indicator pattern is easy to read and interpret
• Lead-free ink eliminates hazardous waste issues
• Equivalent to the Bowie-Dick Towel Pack cited in AAMI
• Lead-free chemistry

A Bowie-Dick test should be run daily on each sterilizer. Should also be
used to check sterilizer performance after a major repair
