Sure-Check® Sterilization Pouch, 8" x 16", 200/bx, 5 bx/cs Crosstex SCL8162

Features & Benefits:

• Sure-Check™ Self-Seal Sterilization Pouches indicate all conditions for sterilization have been achieved – time, temperature, presence of steam.
• Built-in multi-parameter internal/external process indicators that change color when all three criteria for sterilization have been met – time, temperature and pressure (steam).
• 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 15 sizes.
• Not made with natural rubber latex.
• Size: 8" x 16" / 20 x 41 cm.

Instructions for use:

• 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 - Steam chemical indicator ink printed on the inside of each Sure-Check® pouch is certified as a multi-variable (parameter) indicator. Internal multi-variable (parameter) chemical indicators are designed to react to the 3 variables required for sterilization - temperature, specified time, presence of steam - and provide a more reliable indication that the conditions for sterilization have been met. Pink indicators will turn brown when processed by steam. Blue indicators will turn gold/brown when EtO processed. Multi-variable (parameter) indicators meet the 2008 CDC † Guidelines for sterilization. Sure-Check® pouches are only available for use in steam sterilizers (autoclaves) and EtO. 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. Sure-Check sterilization pouches are single use items. Do not re-use

Application:

• For use with EVERY LOAD (Internal/external multi-parameter chemical indicators).
