The reprocessing of modern hollow instruments needs reliability of the highest level for all reprocessing steps. The monitoring of steam sterilisation should combine parametric control and the use of a specific process challenge device (PCD) with a chemical indicator. It monitors air removal and steam penetration within critical instruments. The BMS signals that sterilisation parameters have been met through the simulation of the critical sterile goods. Stericlin’s BMS simulates modern hollow instruments perfectly in terms of material and mass.
The long and narrow channel of the PCD makes high demands on air removal and complete steam penetration. The BMS is designed to monitor steam sterilisation processes with a fractionated vacuum. If the colour change of the chemical indicator is uniform, and if the measured parameters are within tolerances, the batch may be released - with the knowledge that the hightest process safety has been achieved. The stericlin® BMS fulfils the requirements of the performance testing according to EN 867-5 5.3 - 5.3.3.2.
