The integrating indicator strip is intended to be placed in each pack, pouch, container, tray or other containment device to function as an independent monitor of critical parameters for the following sterilization cycles: Steam Sterilization Cycles: 250°F/121°C, 30 minutes Gravity 270°F/132°C, 4 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 270°F/132°C, 5 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 270°F/132°C, 6 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 270°F/132°C, 7 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 270°F/132°C, 8 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 270°F/132°C, 9 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 270°F/132°C, 10 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 270°F/132°C, 15 minutes Gravity 273°F/134°C, 4 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 275°F/135°C, 3 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 275°F/135°C, 10 minutes Gravity Steam Sterilization Cycles (IUSS): 270°F/132°C, 4 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 270°F/132°C, 3 minutes Gravity 270°F/132°C, 10 minutes Gravity 275°F/135°C, 3 minutes Dynamic Air Removal 275°F/135°C, 3 minutes Gravity 275°F/135°C, 10 minutes Gravity
Device Story
Single-use chemical integrating indicator; placed inside sterilization packs/trays; monitors steam sterilization cycle parameters (time, temperature, steam). Device contains temperature-sensitive chemical/dye and wicking strip within embossed cavity. During cycle, dye migrates; if dark bar reaches 'ACCEPT' window, cycle is PASS; otherwise, FAIL. Used by healthcare providers in clinical settings to verify sterilization efficacy before item use. Provides immediate visual confirmation of cycle success; prevents use of improperly processed materials.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Simulated use testing in claimed sterilization cycles demonstrated 100% pass/fail performance. Parallel performance testing against biological indicators confirmed the integrator does not reach the endpoint before biological indicator inactivation.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use strip; backing material with embossed cavity; temperature-sensitive chemical/dye; wicking strip; laminated paper cover with windows. Conforms to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11140-1:2014. Shelf life: 5 years. No software or electronics.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by healthcare providers as an independent monitor of critical steam sterilization parameters (time, temperature, steam) within packs, pouches, containers, or trays during specified gravity and dynamic air removal steam sterilization cycles, including IUSS.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Biological sterilization process indicator: A device intended for use by a health care provider to accompany products being sterilized through a sterilization procedure and to monitor adequacy of sterilization. The device consists of a known number of microorganisms, of known resistance to the mode of sterilization, in or on a carrier and enclosed in a protective package. Subsequent growth or failure of the microorganisms to grow under suitable conditions indicates the adequacy of sterilization. Physical/chemical sterilization process indicator: A device intended for use by a health care provider to accompany products being sterilized through a sterilization procedure and to monitor one or more parameters of the sterilization process. The adequacy of the sterilization conditions as measured by these parameters is indicated by a visible change in the device.

## 3. Description of Device
The VERIFY STEAM Integrating Indicator is a single use device used by healthcare providers to monitor steam sterilization cycles. The VERIFY STEAM Integrating Indicator is included in a pack or load in a steam sterilizer and the load is processed in accordance with the sterilizer's manufacturer's directions. Prior to the use of the processed items, the integrator is observed. If the dark bar on the device enters the ACCEPT (OK) window, the integrator is read as a PASS to indicate that the steam sterilization criteria for the cycle have been met. If the dark bar on the device does not enter the ACCEPT (OK), the integrator is read as a FAIL, indicating that sufficient steam sterilization criteria has not been met and processed materials should be subjected to another steam sterilization cycle prior to use.
#### 4. Intended Use/Indications for Use
The integrating indicator is designed to chemically react over time with the critical parameters of a steam sterilization cycle within a specified tolerance. The integrating indicator strip is intended to be placed in each pack, pouch, container, tray or other containment device to function as an independent monitor of critical parameters for the following sterilization cycles:

## 3. Description of Device
The VERIFY STEAM Integrating Indicator 5CM is a single use device used by healthcare providers to monitor steam sterilization cycles. The VERIFY STEAM Integrating Indicator 5CM is included in a pack or load in a steam sterilizer and the load is processed in accordance with the sterilizer's manufacturer's directions. Prior to the use of the processed items, the integrator is observed. If the dark bar on the device enters the ACCEPT (OK) window, the integrator is read as a PASS to indicate that the steam sterilization criteria for the cycle have been met. If the dark bar on the device does not enter the ACCEPT (OK), the integrator is read as a FAIL, indicating that sufficient steam sterilization criteria has not been met and processed materials should be subjected to another steam sterilization cycle prior to use.
### 4. Intended Use/Indications for Use
The integrating indicator is designed to chemically react over time with the critical parameters of a steam sterilization cycle within a specified tolerance. The integrating indicator strip is intended to be placed in each pack, pouch, container, tray or other containment device to function as an independent monitor of critical parameters for the following sterilization cycles:
