Description
Product type
PCD‑A‑F1 Chemdye® Chemical Indicator for use in Helix‑PCD system
Main application
Monitoring formaldehyde sterilization cycles (LTSF/VFBT processes); ensures safe release of hollow loads by verifying sterilant penetration
Key benefit
Provides clear color change (bordeaux → green) to confirm sterilization efficacy; incomplete color change indicates penetration failure and prevents load release
Technology / differentiator
- Type 2 chemical indicator (ISO 11140‑1 compliant)
- Designed for Helix‑PCD systems to simulate hollow load sterilization challenges
- Self‑adhesive varnished strip format for easy handling and documentation
- Calibrated specifically for formaldehyde sterilization processes (LTSF)
- ANMAT authorized (PM‑1614‑4)
Compatibility / usage environment
Designed exclusively for formaldehyde sterilization; not suitable for steam, EO, or dry heat; ideal for healthcare, food, pharmaceutical and medical device industries
