The VERIFY™ Bowie-Dick Test Pack consists of a series of air removal and steam penetration barriers into which a chemical indicator sheet is embedded. The test pack is placed directly into an otherwise empty steam sterilizer chamber and does not require a retaining device. During processing, steam must displace the air through the barrier material within the pack. A uniform change from yellow to blue on the indicator sheet indicates that all the air was removed and replaced by steam. The advanced technology in thermochromic ink formulation can detect problems with steam quality.
