Bowie Dick Green Card test in a sterilization pouch is specially packaged for daily monitoring and detection of residual air in small pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 134°C for 3.5 minutes. Residual air can defeat pre-vacuum steam sterilization. The special pouch packaging prevents the indicator card from being exposed to excessively wet steam conditions that are sometimes present in small steam sterilizers. Bowie Dick Green Card test indicator in a sterilization pouch will change from purple to green when exposed to a steam sterilization cycle with acceptable vacuum cycles.
