SOLVENTUM (3M) COMPLY SteriGage #1243A Type 5 Steam Chemical Integrator (500 pieces)

[AcmeDent sku='GE1067']

The Solventum (3M) COMPLY SteriGage 1243A is a Type 5 (Class 5) integrating chemical indicator designed for internal pack monitoring in steam sterilization (autoclave) cycles. It provides a rapid, reliable visual confirmation that critical sterilization parameters—steam, temperature, and time—have been met inside sterilization pouches or instrument packs.

Key Features

• **ISO 11140‑1:2014 Type 5** integrating indicator for pack control. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
• Moving‑front ink technology with bold “ACCEPT” (green) zone and “REJECT” (red) zone for rapid interpretation within seconds. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Compatible with steam sterilization cycles at **121–135 °C (250–275°F)**. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Scannable 2D barcode includes lot code and expiration date for integration with instrument‑tracking systems. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Red-and-white backing makes the strip easy to spot if flipped over inside a tray. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Long shelf life: up to **3 years** under recommended storage conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• Durable foil construction that withstands steam sterilization. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Applications

This chemical integrator is ideal for:

• Internal pack control in dental, medical, and surgical instrument sterilization.
• Routine monitoring of steam sterilizer performance.
• Quality assurance in Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) or dental clinics.
• Tracking sterilization cycles via barcode scanning, to document lot and expiration in your sterilization record system.

Technical Specifications

How It Works

The integrator contains a temperature‑ and steam-sensitive chemical pellet inside a wick. During sterilization, the pellet melts and migrates along the wick. If the sterilization parameters (time, temperature, steam) are sufficient, the ink front advances into the green “ACCEPT” zone; if not, it stops in the red “REJECT” zone. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Why Choose This Integrator?

Using the Solventum (3M) 1243A allows your dental or surgical practice to:

• Instantly identify sterilization failures or suboptimal processing.
• Ensure patient safety by confirming that each instrument pack has been fully exposed to sterilization.
• Maintain compliance with sterilization quality standards (ISO, AAMI).
• Streamline documentation via barcode tracking.

Packaging & Storage

Sold in a **bag of 500** chemical integrators. Storage in a cool, dry place is recommended; avoid excessive humidity or heat above recommended storage conditions to preserve shelf life.

Note: Always consult the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use (IFU) for your sterilizer’s specific cycle parameters and for proper placement of the indicator in instrument packs.
