Frequently asked questions
Does this require incubation for results?
No, there is no incubation required. The Vapor Line technology provides an immediate, clear visual result, allowing for rapid turnover of your instruments.
Is this equivalent to a biological indicator?
Yes, each pack is engineered to provide performance equivalent to biological indicators within an AAMI-approved pack, ensuring high-standard sterility assurance.
What temperatures is this compatible with?
This challenge pack is designed for use in steam sterilizers operating at the following temperatures:
- 121°C (250°F)
- 134°C (273°F)
How do I interpret the pass/fail results?
It uses a simple migration-based indicator. A dark bar moves along a paper wick; the status is clearly visible as a ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’ outcome based on whether the required sterilization parameters were met.
Can I document the results for safety records?
Yes, each pack includes a record card. These cards have dedicated fields for tracking cycle data, including the date, machine number, load number, and operator information.
Are there special safety precautions after the cycle?
Yes. Please be aware that the packs and their contents will be hot immediately following the sterilization cycle. You should always use heat-resistant gloves and safety glasses when removing them from the autoclave.
Is this suitable for a dental office?
Yes, these challenge packs are ideal for dental offices, as well as surgical centers and hospital sterilization departments, to ensure routine monitoring compliance.
How many challenge packs are in one order?
Each case contains 20 individual sterilization indicator challenge packs.
What type of indicator is this?
This is a Type 5 Vapor Line chemical integrator.
Can I use these for daily monitoring?
Yes, the system is designed for the routine monitoring of steam sterilization cycles to help facilities remain compliant with AAMI standards.
