Bowie & Dick Tests
We can supply Bowie & Dick Test packs for
monitoring steam sterilisation processes using
autoclaves. The Bowie Dick Test Pack consists
of a series of steam penetration (air removal)
barriers in the centre of which is a chemical
indicator sheet. The test pack should be placed
into an empty autoclave chamber and put
through a recommended autoclave cycle of
134ºC for 3.5 minutes.
During processing, the cycle must remove or
displace the air from within the barrier material,
and replace it with steam throughout the pack.
A uniform change from blue to pink indicates
adequate steam penetrat i o n . The
thermochromic ink formulation detects
problems with steam quality and can used a
diagnostic tool by an autoclave engineer.
These can be used to qualify a newly installed
autoclave or following a major repair but are
generally used to monitor performance changes
in air removal and steam quality during routine
use.
Excelsior Bowie Dick Tests are not hazardous,
products according to the OSHA Hazard
communication standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200
and are free of lead and other heavy metals.
