Integron IT26-C Chemical Integrator (Type 5 according to ISO 11140-1:2014 standard) are single-use moving front chemical indicators for monitoring Steam sterilization processes. These indicators ensure adequate control of the effectiveness of steam sterilization processes by monitoring all critical parameters. Integron IT26-C integrator indicator consists of a special paper wick and steam and temperature-sensitive chemical pellet contained in a paper/film/foil laminate. The chemical pellet melts and migrates as a dark bar along the paper wick. The migration is visible through a zone marked ACCEPT or REJECT, thus indicating whether sterilization conditions were met. The extent of migration depends on steam quality, time, and temperature. The ACCEPT result is reached when a theoretical spore population reaches its kill time, indicating the integration condition has been reached. This condition is calibrated with the kill time of a 106 Geobacillus stearothermophilus spore population, calculated in BIER (Biological Indicator Evaluator Resistometer).

Warning: Do not: Store the product near sterilizing agents, strong alkaline or acidic products such as cleaning/disinfecting agents. Do not: Expose this product to EO, Dry Heat, or any sterilization processes other than Steam.

Warning: Do not: Reuse the sterilizer until the dark bar has reached the Accept zone.
