Excelsior Scientific
Description
Bowie & Dick Tests are designed to evaluate the performance of pre-vacuum steam sterilizers by detecting air removal and steam penetration. These test systems provide a simple and reliable method for verifying sterilization conditions and identifying potential issues with air leakage or inadequate steam penetration. Ideal for routine sterilizer performance monitoring in healthcare facilities, laboratories, and other environments requiring validated steam sterilization.
The Bowie Dick Test Pack consists of a series of steam penetration (air removal) barriers in the centre of which is a chemical indicator sheet. The test pack should be placed into an empty autoclave chamber and put through a recommended autoclave cycle of 134°C for 3.5 minutes.
