Helix Test PRIMA for Steam Autoclave - Resistance Tube Device with 200 Chemical Indicator Strips

The Helix Test PRIMA for steam autoclaves is a technical device designed to evaluate sterilization efficiency in pre-vacuum cycles. It reproduces the most challenging sterilization conditions and allows precise monitoring of steam penetration within the autoclave chamber.

Key features and components:
• Device with an integrated resistance component and a chamber for a chemical indicator strip.
• Chemical indicator strip changes color under saturated steam exposure at high temperature, in accordance with Y0646 standards.
• High-temperature-resistant resistance tube, reusable for up to 200 cycles.
• Complete set includes 200 self-adhesive chemical indicator strips for individual cycle assessment.
• Simulates typical autoclave load structures to replicate real sterilization conditions.
• Detailed instructions for use, including strip insertion, sterilization, and result evaluation (passed/failed).
• Storage recommendations: keep strips dry, in a dark place, away from moisture, acids, alkalis, sunlight, and UV light.

Usage instructions:
1. Open the spiral tube by turning counterclockwise.
2. Fold the indicator strip along the marked line, with the printed side inward.
3. Insert the strip into the Helix device and place it in the autoclave with the items to be sterilized.
4. After sterilization, remove the strip, evaluate the color change, and attach it to the sterilization records for documentation.

Result interpretation:
• Passed - color blocks meet or exceed standard reference (yellow to black).
• Failed - color blocks do not fully meet the standard, indicating incomplete sterilization.

Applications:
• Monitoring autoclave load batches in pre-vacuum sterilization.
• Testing sterilization processes at 121°C and 134°C.
• Suitable for laboratories, dental offices, medical clinics, beauty centers, and other facilities using autoclaves.

The package contains all components necessary for accurate and repeatable verification of steam sterilization efficiency, ensuring reliable technical control and documentation.
