How to use Hydrogen Peroxide Indicator Tape and Chemical Indicators
Chemical indicators help detect possible sterilization failures that could be caused by incorrect packaging, incorrect loading of the sterilizer, or other malfunctions during the sterilization process. Use indicator tapes to wrap the outside of packs to differentiate unprocessed items from processed items. Use chemical indicators inside your packs to verify exposure to vaporized hydrogen peroxide and then you can also keep them for your records.
