Description Gas-Chex® EO Sterilization Indicator Strips are an internal pack monitor that provides an immediate visual method of monitoring all warm and cool cycles of 100% ethylene oxide (EO/EtO) and EO/HCFC (ethylene oxide / hydrochlorofluorocarbon) gas mixture sterilization processes. They are independent monitors of critical parameters for the following sterilization cycles: temperature, gas concentration, humidity, and time. 37°C 736 mg/L ≥35% 3 hours 37°C 759 mg/L ≥35% 3 hours 38°C 736 mg/L 40-80% 4.5 hours 38°C 759 mg/L 40-80% 4.5 hours 55°C 736 mg/L ≥35% 1 hour 55°C 759 mg/L ≥35% 1 hour 55°C 600 mg/L 60% 4 hours How to Use Gas-Chex® EO Sterilization Indicators (See the IFU for full details on how to use the product.) Place a Gas-Chex® EO Indicator strip into each pack, pouch, tray, or other containment device. After processing, when the sterile presentation is made, examine the Gas-Chex® mark; it must be green. Brown color or the original red unchanged indicates under processing, do not use the pack’s contents. Return for reprocessing and determine the cause of the failure. Specifications: Storage Conditions: Gas-Chex® indicator strips should be stored between 59°F-86°F (15°C-30°C) and <60% relative humidity. Protect from light and moisture. Shelf Life: 36 months Our Chemical Indicators: Type 4 Chemical Indicator OK® Steam Sterilization Indicator Strips Monitors the critical sterilization parameters for your steam sterilization load at 250°F and 273°F. Our Biological Indicators: BI-O.K.™ Ethylene Oxide Biological Indicator Vials Self-contained biological indicators for monitoring ethylene oxide (EO|EtO) sterilization.
