True Indicating Bowie Dick (BD) Test Packs contain no lead or other toxic heavy metals and are made of recyclable materials. The Test Packs contain an internal indicator sheet which is used to evaluate the efficacy of air removal and steam penetration in pre-vacuum sterilizers. A uniform color change to pink of the internal Indicator sheet provides evidence that the sterilizer has successfully removed air and can allow steam to penetrate a load placed in the chamber. The test packs are for use in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 121°C and 134°C. The test packs simulate a 7kg cotton pack according to ISO 11140-4 Type 2 and EN 867-4 Class B.
