Ensure the highest level of sterilization assurance with Mediwish® Class 5 Integrator Strips. These Class 5 integrators are chemical indicators that react to the critical variables of sterilization: time, temperature, and steam, confirming that steam has penetrated the pack at the right conditions. Designed to be the most accurate of internal chemical indicators, they mimic the ability of biological indicators at three distinct points.
Mediwish® Class 5 Integrator Strips
When it comes to ensuring the effectiveness of sterilization processes, Mediwish® Class 5 Integrator Strips play a pivotal role. These chemical indicators are finely tuned to react to the critical variables of sterilization: time, temperature, and steam. They're meticulously designed to provide that crucial confirmation – the assurance that steam has thoroughly penetrated a pack, all at the right temperature and duration.
The Precision of Class 5 Integrators
Class 5 Integrators stand out as the paragons of accuracy among internal chemical indicators. What sets them apart is their remarkable ability to replicate the functions of a biological indicator at three distinct points. They emulate the exacting standards of biological indicators without the need for incubation, offering a quicker and more efficient solution.
Operating at the Ideal Conditions
These Class 5 Integrators are engineered for use in steam sterilizers operating within the temperature range of 120°C to 135°C. With their instant pass or fail result, you can rest assured that your sterilization process meets the highest standards.
Type 5 Integrators: Enhancing Sterility Assurance
Mediwish® Type 5 Integrators are a crucial component of any sterility assurance protocol. They contribute significantly to monitoring every sterilization cycle or pack equipped with the STEAM Integrator, ensuring the utmost in sterility.
Versatility at Its Best
These Type 5 Integrators are incredibly versatile and can be used across various sterilization methods, including gravity, prevacuum, and immediate use steam sterilization (IUSS) cycles. They react to all the critical process variables, such as time, temperature, and the presence of saturated steam, making them indispensable for your infection control procedures.
Clear and Immediate Results
One of the standout features of these integrators is their moving-front ink technology, providing a crystal-clear interpretation of pass or fail. As soon as the bar has entered the PASS zone, you have immediate confirmation of the sterilization's success.
Streamlined Workflow
What sets Type 5 Integrators apart is their ability to allow for the immediate release of all non-implant loads. This simplifies and streamlines your workflow, saving valuable time and resources.
Meeting Stringent Standards
Rest easy knowing that Mediwish® Type 5 Integrators meet the performance specifications for a Type 5 integrating indicator as defined in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014. Additionally, they are not made with natural rubber latex, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
The Dynamic Duo: Type 5 and Biological Indicators
In the realm of infection control, the synergy between Type 5 Integrators and biological indicators cannot be overstated. The question that arises is whether Type 5 Integrators are required alongside biological indicators. According to CDC recommendations, using Biological Indicators (BI) on a weekly basis is imperative to verify the functioning of sterilization cycles.
Complementing BI
The AAMI/ANSI standard goes further, recommending the use of a test pack with every load, in addition to a CI (chemical indicator) in every pack. The test package may consist of either BI and CI Type 5 or only CI Class 5, highlighting the importance of both types of indicators.
Unparalleled Accuracy of Type 5 Integrators
The exceptional accuracy of Type 5 Integrators is acknowledged by experts in the field of infection control. These integrators contain chemical inks that respond to all three critical sterilization parameters: time, temperature, and saturated steam.
Immediate Data Readout
The key benefit of using a Type 5 indicator alongside a biological indicator is the ability to monitor time, vapor saturation, and temperature without the need for the incubation required by biological indicators. Instead of waiting for the BI to indicate success, the Type 5 integrator provides immediate data readout using capillary motion.
On Par with Biological Indicators
In terms of performance, Type 5 Integrators are held to the same high standards as biological indicators. With stringent supervision and regulation during production, these integrators guarantee reliability and accuracy.
Mediwish has recently introduced its Sterilization Integrator Type 5 strips, which are registered in the European Union. These strips are designed to be used as accessories to the manufacturer's autoclaves, operating at temperatures ranging from 121 to 135 degrees Celsius, approximately 250 to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. They also meet the rigorous requirements of ISO 11140-1:2014 (International Organization for Standardization).
Features & Benefits
