Tuttnauer Integrators - Type 5 (250/Bag)

These Type 5 chemical integrators verify the successful operation of a steam sterilizer by monitoring three critical sterilization parameters simultaneously:

• Temperature
• Exposure Time
• Steam Quality/Penetration

The integrators provide a clear visual Pass/Fail result based on an internal chemical reaction. For the sterilization cycle to be deemed successful:

1. A dark chemical indicator bar must move across the tag.
2. The bar must fully reach the designated ‘Accept’ zone (colored red).

If the bar remains in the ‘Reject’ zone, the sterilization was unsuccessful. These integrators conform to the rigorous requirements of Type 5 chemical indicators according to ISO 11140-1 standards.

These Type 5 chemical integrators are designed to comprehensively verify the success of a steam sterilization cycle by measuring several critical parameters, ensuring compliance with protocols.

They monitor:

• Temperature
• Time (exposure duration)
• Steam Quality (or steam penetration)
• Overall effectiveness of the sterilization process

Successful sterilization is visually confirmed when the chemical indicator bar progresses fully into the designated ‘Accept’ zone on the tag.

Each bag of Tuttnauer Type 5 Integrators contains 250 individual integrators.

The Tuttnauer Type 5 Integrators confirm successful steam sterilization through a visual chemical indicator bar progression. As a Type 5 chemical integrator (compliant with ISO 11140-1), it measures all critical sterilization parameters:

• Temperature
• Time
• Steam Quality

The result is determined by the position of the dark bar on the tag:

• Accept: If the dark bar progresses fully into the designated ‘Accept’ zone, the sterilization cycle is validated as successful.
• Reject: If the bar fails to reach the ‘Accept’ zone, the cycle is deemed unsuccessful, indicating that the required sterilization parameters were not met.

The model number for the Tuttnauer Integrators - Type 5 (250/Bag) is WTL198-0082.

The Tuttnauer Type 5 Integrators provide a clear, visual verification of a successful steam sterilization cycle. They achieve this by simultaneously measuring the critical sterilization parameters necessary for efficacy:

• Temperature
• Exposure Time
• Steam Quality
• Overall Effectiveness

Pass/Fail Criteria

The integrator features a chemical indicator bar that progresses during the cycle:

• Accept: The sterilization cycle is deemed successful only if the dark bar advances fully into the designated ‘Accept’ zone.
• Reject: If the bar stops short or remains in the ‘Reject’ zone, the cycle failed, indicating that one or more critical parameters were not met.

Yes, these integrators are specifically designed as Type 5 indicators, which means they measure all three critical sterilization parameters: temperature, time, and steam quality. This ensures a comprehensive assessment of the sterilization process.

The Tuttnauer Type 5 Integrators provide objective, clear verification of your steam sterilization cycle’s success by measuring four critical parameters: temperature, exposure time, steam quality, and overall efficacy.

The sterilization result is displayed via a color-changing chemical indicator bar:

• Successful Sterilization (PASS): The sterilization is confirmed only if the internal dark bar progresses fully into the designated ‘Accept’ zone on the tag.
• Failed Sterilization (REJECT): If the dark bar remains in the ‘Reject’ zone or fails to reach the ‘Accept’ mark, the cycle did not meet the necessary sterilization parameters.

This visual method ensures immediate, easy-to-read confirmation of compliance with ISO 11140-1 Type 5 standards.

Yes, the Tuttnauer Integrators - Type 5 are designed to meet ISO 11140-1 standards, ensuring high quality and reliability for sterilization monitoring.

Yes, the Tuttnauer Integrators are classified as Type 5 (ISO 11140-1) Chemical Integrators. This classification ensures they adhere to recognized international standards for sterilization monitoring.
