Chemical Indicator for Dry Heat Sterilisation (Oven)
Note: Only available in the Nordics
In the case of sterilisation using dry heat, temperature and duration are the crucial factors in a valid sterilisation process.
Product description
Eliminate personnel error and confusion by applying DHI Labels to all items to be sterilized. DHI Labels also can indicate sterilizer malfunction. DHI Labels are adhesive backed allowing them to easily be applied to items. Mesa Labs DHI labels are packaged 1000 to a roll.
The labels are printed with a chemical indicator that changes from green to brown when exposed to Dry Heat conditions. This color change allows the technician to immediately distinguish processed from unprocessed items. Color change is non-reversible.
DHI Labels are manufactured in an FDA registered facility pursuant to current Quality System Regulations (QSRs).
By using chemical indicators you protect your staff and patients from bacterial infections transferred from non-sterilised utensils
Our indicators are of high quality. We are following the guidelines from NIR to secure the highest standard of your sterilisation process.
Chemical Indicators are your daily quality check of your autoclave
Easy to interpret as it is chemical reaction causing a colour change
