Sterilization Test Strip

The 3M™ Attest™ Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Tri-Metric Chemical Indicator 1348/1348E confirms that the specified values for the three (3) critical parameters of exposure time, temperature, and amount of vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2) have been achieved within a package or containment device (e.g., wrapped trays, rigid containers, sterilization pouches, and other types of packs) and/or at a specific location within the load or empty chamber. The color of the coated indicator strip changes from blue to pink as it is exposed to vaporized hydrogen peroxide. These changes occur along the strip. The window containing the marked "REJECT" and "ACCEPT" zones reveals the progression of the blue to pink color change along the indicator strip. The progression's severity is contingent upon the temperature, exposure time, and quantity of vaporized hydrogen peroxide.input:

The ISO 11140-1:2014-compliant 3M™ Attest™ Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Tri-Metric Chemical Indicator 1348/1348E is a Type 4 Chemical Indicator that monitors sterilization conditions within medical instrument packs in sterilizers. It is also the first chemical indicator to be classified by the FDA as a multi-variable indicator for chemical vapor sterilization.input:
output:When exposed to vaporized hydrogen peroxide, the color-coded indicator strip undergoes a gradual transition from blue to pink. The device's interpretation is facilitated by the user-friendly "REJECT" and "ACCEPT" zones. The ink is prevented from smearing on surgical instruments and other surfaces by the proprietary protective film.
