The Larr Type 5 Integrating Indicator for Steam CSPN-15L is designed to chemically react over time with the critical parameters of steam sterilization cycle within a specified tolerance. The integrating indicator strip is intended to be placed in each pack, pouch, container, tray or other containment device to function as an independent monitor of critical parameters for the following sterilization cycles: Gravity Displacement: 121 ° C for 30 minutes, 132° C for 15 minutes, 132° C for 25 minutes, 132° C for 3 minutes, 135° C for 10 minutes; Dynamic Air Removal (Vacuum Assist): 132° C for 4 minutes, 135° C for 3 minutes. Minimum Stated Values as determined in a resistometer: SV121 °C/16.5 min., SV132°C/2.0min, SV134 °C/1.4 min. SV135°C/1.2 min.
A sterilization indicator designed to be placed within a sterilizing chamber, and to respond with a characteristic chemical and/or physical change (non-electrical) to one or more of the physical conditions within the chamber, to validate the sterilization process. It may be presented in one of a variety of forms (e.g., tape, test pack, tag). This is a single-use device.
