Product Description
Key Features of Indicator Tape
- Provides reliable indication of exposure to STEAM, FORM, EO, GAS, and PLASMA; chemically-treated lines change color upon sterilization.
- Superior adhesion to paper, cloth, and plastic for secure packaging.
- Easily removed without leaving any gummy residue.
- Manufactured according to ISO11607, EN868, and CE standards.
- Mainly used to indicate whether packs or containers have been subjected to sterilization processes.
Usage Instructions
Intercept the proper length of tape and paste it onto the surface of the package intended for sterilization. Following the sterilization process, observe the tape for a color change from light yellow to grey/black, confirming that the process requirements have been met.
Note: To maintain accuracy, avoid direct contact with surfaces where condensation easily forms (such as metal or glass). Moisture from condensation can soak the tape and affect the precision of the thermal chemical dyes.
