They conform to the EN 867-4: 2001 (Class B) and ANSI/AAMI ST66 standards. They are for use in Life Sciences applications only. They are not cleared for use in healthcare facilities in the United States.

HOW STERAFFIRM BOWIE DICK TEST PACKS WORK

STERIS Steraffirm Bowie Dick Test Packs should be placed over the drain each day to test your pre-vacuum steam sterilizer. During the cycle, the indicator ink will change from yellow to a blue/purple color. After the cycle is complete, the indicator card can be removed and kept for your records. Steraffirm Bowie Dick Test packs can help identify a problem before you have sterilization failures while helping to identify the potential source of the problem.
