Type 5 Strip/Label

ISO 11140-1 Type 5 Integrating Indicator for monitoring Ethylene Oxide (EO) processes. The indicator strips are intended for use with individual materials (i.e. packs, containers) to demonstrate that the material has been sterilized by an EO process. Integrating Indicators react to all critical process variables (time, temperature, relative humidity and EO gas concentration) and are equivalent to, or exceed, the performance requirements given in ISO 11138 − series for biological indicators. The backing of the strip is removable which exposes latex-free adhesive for easy application of the strip to packages during exposure and/or for record keeping purposes after exposure. Indicator can be used as a strip, label or both for record keeping post-exposure. True Indicating integrating indicator strips contain no lead or other toxic heavy metals. Transition from violet to green.
