EO Chemical Indicator Strip

Accurate Internal Monitoring for EO Sterilization

JPS Medical's EO Chemical Indicator Strips are designed to be placed inside individual packs, pouches, or trays to monitor the penetration of Ethylene Oxide gas. They provide a vital layer of assurance that the sterilization agent has reached the instruments.

Manufactured with high-quality, stable materials and lead-free indicator inks, these strips are safe to use and offer clear, easy-to-read results, minimizing the risk of interpretation errors.

Key Features

• Distinct Color Change: Reliable visual confirmation of EO exposure.
• Multi-parameter: Reacts to time, temperature, relative humidity, and EO gas concentration.
• Easy Interpretation: Unambiguous pass/fail results for quick checking.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for placing inside various types of sterilization packs.
• Standard Compliance: Meets ISO 11140-1 Class 4/5 requirements.

Quality Control Process

1. Raw Material Check - Testing paper/cardstock absorbency and consistency.
2. Ink Performance - Verifying color change accuracy in specific EO test cycles.
3. Parameter Testing - Ensuring proper reaction to EO concentration, RH, time, and temp.
4. Aging Test - Accelerated aging to ensure specified shelf life stability.
5. Pre-Shipment Check - Visual inspection of printing alignment, color, and cutting.
