BOWIEDICK Test Card GREEN – Pack of 30 (Model #BD117)

Professional Daily Monitoring for Steam Sterilizers

The BOWIEDICK GREEN Test Card (BD 117) is engineered for the daily validation of pre‑vacuum steam sterilization cycles, specifically designed for use at 134 °C for 3.5 minutes. This self‑contained, compact chemical indicator simplifies daily Bowie‑Dick testing by detecting residual air, wet or superheated steam, vacuum system malfunctions, and the presence of non‑condensable gases 

Key Features:

• Reliable colour change: Indicator transitions from purple to green upon successful sterilization—uniform green means proper steam penetration; remaining purple signals potential air entrapment
• Meets international standards: Compliant with ISO 11140‑4 (Bowie‑Dick test method), ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140‑5, and Class 2 indicator requirements
• Lead‑free, eco‑friendly design: Contains no toxic heavy metals, offers a permanent, irreversible color change ideal for record-keeping 
• Space‑saving format: Credit‑card sized cards fit easily in holders and occupy minimal storage space compared to traditional packs
• Economical solution: Delivers cost-effective daily monitoring while reducing waste and inventory bulk
