Types

Oro Bowie Dick Test Packs are pre-assembled single-use test packs designed to evaluate the performance of the air removal system of a pre-vacuum-equipped sterilizer. Several versions of these test packs are available. They are calibrated to be compatible with pre-vacuum cycles operating at specific exposure temperatures or within a specified exposure temperature range (e.g., 121° C/250° F).

How oro bowie dick test packs work:
Oro Bowie Dick Test Packs should be placed over the drain each day to test your pre-vacuum steam sterilizer. During the cycle, the indicator ink will change to clear jet black. After the cycle is complete, the indicator card can be removed and kept for your records. Steraffirm Bowie Dick Test packs can help identify a problem before you have sterilization failures while helping to identify the potential source of the problem.

The Bowie‐dick test has the following advantages:

  • Accurate and reproducible results
  • Tested against the original Bowie‐Dick Pack
  • Nonreversible indicator
  • Easy and fast interpretation of color change to clear jet black
  • Easy documentation due to attached data input sheet
  • Laminated indicator prevents any interaction with ink
  • Ink is free of any toxic component
  • Paper is high-quality re‐cycled paper
  • Cost‐effective and commercially priced.

Direction to use

Test sterilizer once a day.
Test at the beginning of each day. A shortened cycle should be used to preheat the system (i.e. omit the drying phase).
If the sterilizer is in continual use, then testing can be performed at any time, but it should be tested at the same time every day.
Place the pack on the bottom rack in the front section of the sterilizer, near the door and over the drain.
The test is most accurate when nothing else is in the chamber, so do not use this cycle to sterilize items or packs. Other items in this cycle may invalidate the test.
Run a pre-vacuum cycle following the parameters printed on the indicator instructions. You may eliminate the drying phase to save time without affecting the test.
After the cycle is complete, remove the pack and open it to examine the indicator sheet. CAUTION! Test pack may still be hot so use caution when handling to avoid injury.
Record the necessary information on the sheet (or in a logbook) and store for your records.
The filter paper pack can be discarded into a paper recycle bin.
