Mediware Bowie & Dick Test Kit

The success of central sterile supply services depends entirely on the proper functioning of the autoclaves. According to European Standard EN 285, the Bowie & Dick test is a mandatory test for steam sterilizers. This functional test for steam sterilizers must be performed at the start of the workday. Once the Bowie & Dick test has been successfully passed, the steam sterilizer can be approved for operation. The mediware Bowie & Dick Test is simple and safe to use: preheat the autoclave, place the test pack in the chamber, run the Bowie & Dick program, remove the test sheet, check the result, done. The indicator on the inner test sheet is free of heavy metals. Once the color change has occurred, the indicator’s shade no longer changes—this guarantees absolute documentation reliability. The mediware test pack has passed testing by the British Standards Institution (BSI). Under the strictest conditions, this seal of approval distinguishes products and services in which safety plays a decisive role. This confirms the product’s compliance with the strict requirements of DIN EN ISO 11140-4 by an internationally recognized testing institute.
