Professional Bowie-Dick Test – Assurance of Safety and Sterilization Effectiveness

Bowie-Dick Test 134°C/3.5 min. is a comprehensive set for daily quality control of vacuum autoclaves. The kit includes a specialized test device (PCD) and 100 class 2 indicator strips designed for sterilization cycles at 134°C for 3.5 minutes. This product is dedicated for professional use in medical, dental, podiatry clinics, beauty salons, tattoo studios, and other industries requiring the highest standards of tool sterilization.

With the Bowie-Dick test, you can quickly and effectively detect any irregularities in autoclave operation, such as too low temperature, insufficient sterilization time, inadequate vacuum, poor air removal, insufficient steam penetration, or the presence of condensate or inert gases. The test also enables early detection of leaks and system faults within the autoclave.

Each indicator strip features a chemical indicator that changes color from blue to pink after a correct sterilization process, providing clear and unambiguous result interpretation. The set allows you to conduct controls in accordance with applicable standards and guidelines, and also facilitates documentation of sterilization processes.
