The VERIFY SixCess Challenge packs are used to monitor steam sterilization loads. Each pack consists of a series of steam penetration and dynamic air removal barriers. A Type 6 Emulating Indicator, as defined by ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1, is located in the center of the challenge pack.
How VERIFY SixCess Challenge Packs Work
Select the specific steam sterilization challenge pack that matches the cycle being used:
Next, place the test pack flat in the coldest location of the load chamber to be steam sterilized. During processing, the sterilizer must remove or displace the air from the barrier material and replace it with steam throughout the pack. 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. The challenge pack provides a total yellow to blue/purple color change to help eliminate the guess work of tonal color changes.
