Kemiske indikatorer til dampsterilisation fra Albert Browne

Chemical indicators for moist heat steam sterilization (autoclaves)

Overview

The chemical indicators (MVI) provided by Safe Sterilization ApS are designed for process control of the sterilization processes. The chemical indicator verifies that steam has penetrated to where the chemical indicator has been placed.

Du bør anvende kemiske indikatorer minimum én gang dagligt for at sikre, at de fysiske parametre for sterilisationsprocessen er opfyldt. Kemiske indikatorer er et supplement til biologiske indikatorer. De biologiske indikatorer anvendes til at verificere sterilisationsprocessens drabseffekt overfor mikroorganismer.

Product description

The chemical indicators are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the standard DS/EN ISO 11140-1 Class 4.

De kemiske indikatorer verificerer opnåelse af fysiske testparametre, som temperatur, tid og tilstedeværelse af tør mættet vanddamp. Hvis alle parameter er opnået ses et farveskift fra hvid til sort på indikatoren. Læs altid vejledningen på æsken med kemiske indikatorer.

When the chemical indicator is placed in cassettes or autoclave bags, the indicators will confirm that steam has penetrated to the location where the indicator is located.

Use

The use of chemical indicators verifies if the critical parameters of time, temperature, and dry saturated water vapor are achieved. Therefore, the chemical indicators must be placed in the autoclave where it is considered most difficult to sterilize, so they verify the process at its most critical places. The chemical indicators are used alongside equipment to be sterilized and can be placed in cassettes or autoclave bags (if used), so the placements are as close to everyday use as possible.

If the chemical indicator does not change colour from white to black after exposure to a sterilisation process, the cause of this must be clarified and corrected. Please consult the manual you received along with your equipment. After troubleshooting your equipment, repeat the test with chemical indicator. 

Hvis du ikke kan afhjælpe problemet selv, kan Safe Sterilization hjælpe dig med kontakt til en uvildig servicemontør.

Specification

The chemical indicators can be used for the following combinations of temperature and time:

  • 121°C i minimum 8 minutter
  • 134°C i minimum 3 minutter

Always read and follow the instruction on the box.

Du skal altid aflæse den kemiske indikator, lige efter processen er endt, for at få det korrekte resultat. Kun hvis den kemiske indikator fuldkommen har skiftet til slutfarven (sort), kan du tolke resultatet til, at de fysiske parametre er opnået på det sted, hvor den kemiske indikator har været placeret.

Please refer to our User guide and Recommendations for the healthcare sector on our website, Danish industry only.

Storage, durability and disposal

Store cool, dark and dry between 0-30°C, 30-60% RH.

Used indicators should be kept as documentation of tests performed and can be discarded as paper waste.

Expiration date is stated on the product packaging. Never use an expired indicator.
