Bowie & Dick Test Set (PCD Helix)
Description
With reference to the European Standard EN 285, the Bowie & Dick Test is a mandatory test for steam sterilizers. This functionality test for steam sterilizers needs to be done at the beginning of the working day. After a successful pass of the Bowie & Dick Test Pack the steam sterilizer can be released for use. The Bowie & Dick Test Set is dedicated for porous and hollow loads in pre-vacuum hospital steam sterilizers. Compared to the BD Test Pack (porous loads) the Bowie & Dick Test Set simulates a hollow instrument and generates a bigger challenge for the steam sterilizer and the steam sterilization process. It complies with EN ISO 11140-1 (Type 2) as well as EN-ISO 11140-4.
The Bowie & Dick Test has following advantages:
- Simulation of worst case scenario
- Easy and fast interpretation of color change from yellow to black
- Easy documentation of the self adhesive indicator strip
- Non reversible indicator
- Reproducible results
- Ink is free of any toxic component
- Paper is high quality re‐cycled paper
- Cost‐effective and commercially priced
