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
