Frequently asked questions

Is this integrator compatible with all steam sterilization cycles?

Yes, the Crosstex Steamplus Class 5 Integrator is designed for high versatility and reliable performance across various common steam sterilization methods. It is fully compatible with the following cycle types:<ul><li>Gravity cycles</li><li>Pre-vacuum cycles</li><li>Flash cycles</li></ul>As a Class 5 integrating indicator, this product offers the highest level of chemical sterility assurance, equivalent in performance claims to a biological indicator. This broad compatibility ensures immediate and dependable readout verification across all specified cycles.

Does this integrator provide an immediate readout?

Yes, the Crosstex Steamplus Class 5 Integrator is designed to provide an immediate readout, which enables the rapid assessment and verification of the sterilization cycle effectiveness immediately upon completion.

As a high-assurance chemical indicator, it offers several key features:

  • Class 5 Performance: This integrator meets the rigorous performance claims of ST-60 and ISO 11140-1:2005 for Class 5 indicators, providing the highest level of chemical sterility assurance.
  • Clear Results: It features distinct, easy-to-interpret pass/fail criteria.
  • FDA Cleared: It is FDA cleared as equivalent in performance to a biological indicator for chemical monitoring.
  • Versatile Use: The strip functions reliably across gravity, pre-vacuum, and flash steam sterilization cycles.
Are the integrators FDA cleared for assured performance?

Yes, the Crosstex Steamplus Class 5 Integrator is FDA cleared.

This high-assurance chemical indicator is specifically:

  • FDA Cleared as equivalent in performance to a biological indicator (BI) for chemical monitoring.
  • Tested to meet rigorous standards for Class 5 integrators, including ST-60 and ISO 11140-1:2005.

It provides the highest level of sterility assurance available from a chemical indicator, offering immediate readout confirmation for gravity, pre-vacuum, and flash steam cycles.

Does the integrator replace biological sterilization indicators?

No, the Crosstex Steamplus Class 5 Integrator does not replace the routine use of a biological indicator (BI). It is intended to complement, not substitute, mandatory BI testing protocols.

While it does not replace a BI, this integrator provides the highest tier of chemical sterility assurance:

  • Highest Classification: It is a Class 5 Integrating Integrator, meeting rigorous ST-60 and ISO 11140-1:2005 performance standards.
  • Performance Equivalence: It is FDA Cleared as functionally equivalent in performance to a biological indicator, offering high sterility assurance.
  • Immediate Results: It provides a distinct pass/fail immediate readout suitable for gravity, pre-vacuum, and flash steam sterilization cycles.
Does the Class 5 Integrator offer immediate results?

Yes, the Crosstex Steamplus Class 5 Integrator is engineered for immediate readout, offering rapid and definitive verification of your steam sterilization process.

Key features regarding its performance include:

  • Immediate Verification: Provides distinct pass/fail criteria immediately after the cycle concludes, allowing for quick interpretation of results.
  • High Assurance: As a Class 5 Integrating Indicator, it offers the highest level of chemical assurance and is functionally equivalent in performance to a biological indicator (BI).
  • Versatile Compatibility: It is reliable for use in all major steam sterilization cycles, including gravity, pre-vacuum, and flash cycles.
Does this Class 5 integrator offer the highest sterility assurance?

Yes, the Crosstex Steamplus is a Class 5 Integrating Integrator, providing the highest level of sterility assurance available from a chemical indicator.

This high level of assurance is based on its rigorous design and performance:

  • Highest Classification: It is tested against the rigorous performance claims of ST-60 and ISO 11140-1:2005 standards.
  • BI Equivalence: The integrator is FDA cleared as functionally equivalent in performance to a biological indicator (BI), offering maximum chemical verification.
  • Immediate Results: It provides a fast, distinct pass/fail criteria and is suitable for use in gravity, pre-vacuum, and flash steam sterilization cycles.

Important Note: Although the Class 5 integrator offers exceptional chemical verification, it is designed to complement, and does not replace, the requirement for routine biological indicator testing.
