Helix PCD System 134°C - 5.3 minutes, 121°C - 15 minutes

Helix indicators are used to assess the effectiveness of sterilization processes for the entire sterilized load. The Helix set simulates critical conditions inside the steam sterilizer chamber. Helix PCD is ideal for controlling porous and long narrow tubular instruments, providing maximum monitoring through precise evaluation of steam penetration effectiveness.

Helix PCD System 134°C - 5.3 minutes, 121°C - 15 minutes consists of:

- a transparent capsule made of polypropylene,
- a 1.5 m long Teflon tube,
- 400 self-adhesive type 6 tests measuring 5x74 mm

Insert the type 6 indicator into the Helix PCD capsule and place it inside the autoclave chamber among the packages. After the sterilization process, check the color change. A change from blue to black/graphite confirms proper sterilizer function. The reference color for the indicator is the color of the word "DARK" printed on the test.

Advantages of the Helix set 134°C - 5.3 minutes, 121°C - 15 minutes:

- compact size of the Helix set, suitable for small tabletop steam sterilizers,
- easy interpretation of type 6 test results,
- self-adhesive strip on the back of the tests, facilitating archiving and documentation on record sheets,
