Type 5 Integrating Indicator (according to ISO 11140-1).
Size: 52 mm x 21 mm.
Chemical Integrator consists of a paper wick and a steam and
temperature sensitive chemical pellet contained in a paper/film/foil
laminate. The chemical pellet melts and migrates as a dark bar along
the paper wick. The migration is visible through a zone marked
ACCEPT or REJECT, thus indicating whether sterilization conditions
were met. The extent of migration depends on steam quality, time, and
temperature. The ACCEPT result is reached when a theoretical spore
population reaches its kill time, indicating integration condition has
been reached. This condition is calibrated with the kill time of 106
Geobacillus stearothermophilus spore population, calculated in BIER
(Biological Indicator Evaluator Resistometer).
