CDC infection control guidelines make it clear – the only way to be sure an instrument has been sterilized is to expose it to all three sterilization criteria: time, temperature and steam. Multi-variable indicators are designed to react to two or more of the critical variables and are intended to indicate exposure to a sterilization cycle at a stated value of the chosen variable. Yet traditional sterilization pouches have an internal and/or external process indicator that reacts only to temperature.
Sure-Check® Sterilization Pouches feature internal/external multi-variable indicator technology that confirms all three criteria for sterilization have been met.
For CDC compliance, today more than ever, you need to be sure about sterilization – you need Sure-Check®.
