Product type: IT26‑C Integron® Moving‑Front Chemical Integrator for steam sterilization
Main application: Independent monitoring of steam sterilization cycles; verifies exposure to critical parameters (time, temperature, steam quality) with a clear ACCEPT/REJECT readout
Key benefit: Provides progressive migration of a dark bar along a paper wick, visually confirming whether sterilization conditions have been met; simple and reliable interpretation for operators
Technology / differentiator:
Type 5 integrating indicator (ISO 11140‑1)
Calibrated against kill time of 10⁶ Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC® 7953 spores in BIER resistometer (conditions: saturated steam at 121 °C, 128 °C, 135 °C)
Paper wick + steam/temperature‑sensitive chemical pellet in laminated paper/film/foil construction
Migration visible through ACCEPT/REJECT zones for straightforward decision‑making
Compatible with Trazanto® Automatic Quality Control and Traceability System for optional digital readout
Eco‑friendly 100% toxic heavy‑metal free formulation
Compatibility / usage environment: Validated for gravity displacement cycles (121 °C/30 min, 132 °C/15–25 min, 135 °C/10 min) and dynamic air removal cycles (132 °C/4 min, 135 °C/3 min); not suitable for EO, dry heat, or other sterilization methods; ideal for healthcare, food, pharmaceutical and medical device industries
