3M™Comply™Chemical Indicators
Source: 3M Life Sciences
3M presents a wide series of Class 1, Class 2, Class 4, and Class 5 chemical indicators that are internal pack monitors for steam, ethylene oxide, or vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization cycles. These indicators are designed to provide clear visual pass/fail results showing if sterilization conditions have been met.
These chemical indicators are often used in conjunction with parametric release processes to offer objective monitoring conditions independent of the sterilizer’s physical data.
Key Class Features Include:
- Class 1 process indicators distinguish processed from unprocessed goods
- Class 2 chemical indicators are for special tests (3M™ Comply™ Bowie-Dick Type Test Packs)
- Class 5 chemical integrating indicator moving front designs provides easy-to-read pass/fail result
- All indicators comply with the applicable sections of ISO and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140:2005
