Duo Check Sterilization Pouch, 3.5x9, 200/Bx CROSSTEX CROSSTEX SCS

Features & Benefits:

• Duo-Check™ Self-Seal Sterilization Pouches indicate all conditions for sterilization have been achieved – time, temperature, presence of steam.
• Built-in internal/external process indicators that change color when exposed to a specific temperature.
• Manufactured from medical grade paper with extra-wide chevron to protect against instrument breaching, thumb-notch for easy opening, 6 corner tack seals to prevent curling and other potential contaminants from entering pouch upon opening and a perforated fold to help ensure the adhesive strip forms an airtight seal.
• Once sterilized, contents will remain sterile for up to 3 years provided the integrity of the pouch has not been compromised.
• For use with steam and EtO sterilization processes only.
• Meets OSHA & CDC guidelines of sterilization monitoring.
• Simple and convenient to use.
• Available in 16 sizes.
• Not made with natural rubber latex.
• Size: 3.5" x 9"/ 9 x 23 cm.
• Storage - Store all sterilization pouches in a cool, dry place.
• Loading- Carefully place items into pouches and remove excess air before sealing. Where possible, use a pouch rack to stand pouches on edge in the sterilizer to facilitate sterilization and drying. When loading multiple pouches, be sure that the plastic side faces the paper side of each adjacent pouch.
• Sterilization - Chemical process indicators are printed internally and externally on each pouch and change color during sterilization to visually verify pouches have been processed. Pink arrows will turn brown when processed by steam. Blue arrows will turn gold/brown when EtO processed. These process indicators ONLY measure temperature and should be used in conjunction with a multi-parameter indicator strip which measures temperature, for a specified time, and the presence of steam. This procedure, when used in conjunction with routine biological monitoring (spore testing), provides you with the highest level of sterility assurance.
• Shelf Life - When properly sealed, sterility is maintained up to three (3) years provided the integrity of the pouch has not been compromised, i.e. pouch becomes wet, damaged or is opened during storage.
• Caution - wet pouches may not preserve sterility of contents.
• Single-Use Pouches - Sterilization pouches are single use items. Do not re-use.
