Product Overview
The VERIFY Bowie Dick Test Pack is an air removal test for autoclaves/steam sterilizers and steam penetration. A chemical indicator is in the center of each pack, and the advanced technology in our thermochromic ink formulation can aid in the detection of a variety of steam quality issues.
How the VERIFY Bowie Dick Test Pack Works
The Bowie Dick (Air removal) Test verifies that the prevacuum sterilizer effectively removes air and is equivalent to the AAMI Bowie Dick Test, removing the need for test packs to be constructed by staff. The test pack is placed directly into an otherwise empty autoclave chamber and does not require a retaining device. During the test cycle, steam must displace the air through the barrier material within the Bowie Dick Test Pack. A uniform change from yellow to blue/purple on the indicator sheet indicates that all the air was removed and replaced by steam. If a failure should occur, the indicator ink can assist in detecting steam quality issues based on the characteristics of the failure patterns of the indicator ink.
