Description
The most commonly used Steam Penetration Test is the Bowie & Dick Test and a mandatory test required by AS 4187 and AS 4815 for vacuum assisted sterilisers. This is carried out at the beginning of each day. The Bowie & Dick Test is also used during installation qualification. The Bowie & Dick Type Test Packs are designed for use in vacuum assisted sterilisers to test the efficacy of the vacuum system to remove air from the steriliser chamber and to detect leaks in the system that would allow air into the chamber.
With unique colour chemistry, the 3M Comply Disposable Bowie and Dick Type Autoclave Test Pack conforms to BS EN 867-4 and carries the BSI Kite Mark. It is designed for single use in porous load sterilizers for daily Bowie and Dick tests.
