Frequently asked questions
Can these cards be used for both steam and gas?
Yes, these cards are specifically designed with dual compatibility. They are highly versatile and effectively monitor both Steam and Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas sterilization cycles, making them a perfect fit for diverse clinical environments.
Are these suitable for long-term clinical record keeping?
Absolutely. These cards are engineered for permanent documentation, providing a standardized, reliable format that meets the administrative and regulatory requirements for comprehensive sterilization logs.
