Bowie & Dick test
This is a chemical-physical test that is also known as the Brown test: the indicator is a heat-sensitive sheet
that is placed in the middle of a packet made up of various layers of paper and foam rubber.
The B&D test simulates the performance of the unit with regard to the sterilization of porous loads, in
particular:
the efficiency of the preliminary vacuum and the penetration of steam within the cavities
-
the temperature and pressure values of the saturated steam during the sterilization phase
-
Fractioned preliminary vacuum
The packet for the B&D test must be inserted on its own, preferably on the lowest tray, with the label facing
up. After performing the cycle, specifically the B134 cycle, immediately verify the test. Being careful while
handling the packet (it is still hot), remove the indicator sheet and follow the instructions given in the package
for evaluating the result of the test.
