(PREVIOUSLY NAMED GREEN CARD T)
Daily monitoring and detection of residual air.
The Getinge Assured Bowie-Dick Test Card TT (table-top) is specially packaged for daily monitoring and detection of residual air in small pre-vacuum steam sterilisers operating at 134°C. Residual air can inhibit pre-vacuum steam sterilisation. The special pouch packaging prevents the indicator card from being exposed to excessively wet steam conditions that are sometimes present in small steam sterilisers. The card is specially packaged and designed to meet ISO-11140-6 sub-atmosphere cycle requirements.
The metal ring provided with each bag of indicator cards is attached through a hole punched in each pouch. The ring provides weight/stabilisation to the pouch and indicator, which prevents it from being moved around inside the steriliser chamber.
This Getinge Assured product is tested and verified to have equivalent and approved performance at both ISO 11140-6 sub-atmospheric cycles and Getinge Bowie-Dick cycles for type B pre-vacuum table top sterilisers.
If the steriliser is functioning properly, the indicator graphic will show a uniform colour change from purple to green throughout the entire indicator image. A brown or non-uniform green colour may indicate problems with steam conditions in the steriliser chamber other than non-condensable gases or residual air.
