How To Choose The Right Bowie-Dick Test Pack For Your Steam Sterilizer

Choosing the right Bowie-Dick test for vacuum-assisted steam sterilizers is more than meeting compliance; it’s about optimizing cost, sustainability, and sterility assurance. With ISO 17665 and EU GMP Annex 1 recommending daily testing, facilities face a critical decision between disposable and reusable systems. Disposable packs create ongoing waste and inventory challenges, while reusable Process Challenge Devices (PCDs) offer thousands of validated cycles, reducing costs and environmental impact. Evaluating the total cost of ownership, compliance requirements, and operational efficiency is essential for making an informed choice. For organizations prioritizing sustainability without compromising performance, reusable solutions represent a strategic evolution in sterilization validation.
