Frequently asked questions
Can I release loads immediately using this pack?
Yes, this pack provides an immediate readout upon completion of the sterilization cycle. Because the Class 5 integrator confirms the critical parameters of time, temperature, and saturated steam, clinical staff can release non-implant items right away without waiting for long-term culture results.
Is this equivalent to a biological indicator test?
Absolutely. The McKesson Steam Integrator is engineered to perform equivalent to a Biological Indicator Test Pack, providing a high level of confidence and assurance for your sterilization monitoring protocols.
Does it work in both gravity and pre-vacuum cycles?
Yes, it is highly versatile and designed for compatibility with both:
- Gravity displacement (250°F / 121°C)
- Pre-vacuum (270°F / 132°C)
steam sterilization cycles.
How do I maintain accurate sterilization records?
Each test pack includes an internal load record card with a pre-printed form. Once the indicator bar moves into the designated ‘Safe’ zone, the card serves as a permanent, physical document where you can record the date, operator, sterilizer number, and load number for easy compliance.
Is this product safe for latex-sensitive environments?
Yes, the McKesson Steam Integrator is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe and suitable choice for medical environments that require strictly latex-free products.
What parameters does the chemical integrator monitor?
This Type 5 integrator is designed to monitor the three essential parameters of effective steam sterilization:
- Time
- Temperature
- Saturated steam
How do I verify a successful cycle?
Verification is simple and visual. After the cycle finishes, check the internal card to ensure the color bar has moved into the designated ‘Safe’ zone. The clear contrast makes it easy to read in fast-paced clinical settings.
Is this suitable for central processing departments?
Yes, it is ideal for routine monitoring in various medical settings, including surgical centers, dental offices, and hospital central processing departments, helping ensure consistent compliance with infection prevention protocols.
How many test packs come in a case?
Each case contains 25 complete test packs. Each pack includes the Class 5 chemical integrator and the integrated load record card.
Are these test packs VA compatible?
Yes, this product is Veterans Administration (VA) compatible, meeting the standards required for use in those facilities.
