Professional Set for Daily Steam Sterilizer Monitoring

BOWIE-DICK / HELIX PCD TEST 134°C/3.5 min. is a comprehensive kit designed to verify the effectiveness of the sterilization process in steam autoclaves. It is suitable for use in medical facilities, podiatry clinics, beauty salons, tattoo studios, and other professional environments. The set includes a Helix PCD test device and 400 self-adhesive type 6 indicator strips. All products offered in the autoclaves.shop store are specially selected for professional use and meet all technical requirements and safety standards, in accordance with the latest regulations for sterilization.

Bowie-Dick and Helix PCD tests are essential for daily autoclave monitoring. They enable the assessment of air removal efficiency and steam penetration in the most challenging areas of the sterilizer chamber. They are particularly recommended for monitoring the sterilization of tubular instruments and devices with hard-to-reach channels. Tests should be performed daily before starting work, as well as after servicing, moving the device, or after a prolonged break in use.

The Helix PCD test system uses type 6 chemical indicators. After completing the sterilization cycle, remove the indicator strip from the device and read the result—a color change from light blue to black/graphite confirms proper operation of the sterilizer and achievement of the required process parameters. The self-adhesive indicators can be easily attached to sterilization process documentation.
