Description
3 level chemical integrator for Steam sterilization processes. One-side laminated strips.
Integron® IT26 are three-level sequential integrating indicators designed to react inside loads exposed to Steam sterilization processes.
The Integration level consists of a pink ink developed to turn to black when a theoretical population of spores reaches its kill time, indicating that the SAFE condition is achieved.
Level 1 – Blue: Exposure level, it turns to black to indicate the exposure to the process but it does not assure that the conditions indicated in the integrator have been met (UNSAFE condition).
Level 2 – Pink: Integration level, it turns to black thus indicating that conditions indicated in the integrator have been met. These conditions are calibrated with the kill time of a 106 theoretical Geobacillus stearothermophilus spore population, calculated in a BIER (Biological Indicator Evaluator Resistometer). This is called SAFE condition.
Level 3 – Green: Over-integration level, it turns to black when integration conditions indicated in the product have been overreached. This is called EXTENDED condition.
Instructions of use
– Place an Integron® IT26 Integrator Indicator within each package, bag or tray that will be sterilized by Steam.
– In rigid containers place an Integron® IT26 Integrator Indicator in every corner, or at least two diagonally or opposite corners, to ensure that steam has reached the most inaccessible areas.
– After completing the process, analyze the results. If the SAFE integration condition has been reached or overreached, the sterilization process was successful.
