Frequently asked questions
Are these strips compatible with all steam cycles?
Yes, these are Class 5 integrator strips engineered for universal compatibility. You can use them in all common steam sterilization processes, including gravity, pre-vacuum, and flash cycles.
How do I know if the sterilization was successful?
Interpretation is simple and immediate:
- After the cycle, check the dark bar on the strip.
- If the bar has reached the teal “SAFE” area, the load has met the required temperature, time, and steam saturation conditions.
- If the bar is outside the teal area, the load must not be released.
Are these safe to use for latex-sensitive patients?
Yes. These integrator strips are not made with natural rubber latex, making them suitable for environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.
Do these meet professional regulatory standards?
Yes, these strips are designed to meet ISO 11140-1:2005 standards for chemical indicators, providing reliable monitoring for your sterilization protocols.
Where should I place the strip inside the pack?
For the most accurate verification of sterilization parameters, place the strip inside each pack or in the densest part of the load prior to starting the sterilization cycle.
Are these strips reusable after the cycle?
No, these strips are intended for single use only. They should be disposed of after the sterilization cycle has been interpreted.
How are these strips packaged?
Each case contains 1,000 individual integrator strips packaged in a protective, sealed pouch, ensuring they remain clean and organized for high-volume use in hospitals, dental clinics, or laboratories.
Do I need special equipment to interpret the results?
No special equipment is required. The strips are designed for instant visual confirmation; simply look for the dark bar to enter the clearly marked teal “SAFE” zone.
What is the recommended storage for these strips?
To maintain the integrity and accuracy of the chemical indicators, store the strips at controlled room temperature.
Where are these sterilization strips manufactured?
These McKesson Brand sterilization integrator strips are made in the USA.
