3M Bowie Dick Tests, Case of 30 Test Packs (1233LF)

The 3M Bowie Dick Tests (1233LF, Case of 30) provide an easy-to-read, lead-free method to verify air-removal efficiency in steam sterilizers at 132–134°C. Ideal for hospital sterilization quality control.

Designed to ensure proper functioning of steam sterilizers in hospitals and clinical settings. These tests verify air-removal efficiency during pre-vacuum sterilization cycles at 132–134°C (270–273°F), helping maintain compliance with ANSI/AAMI ST79 standards.

The test sheets use lead-free ink for safe, clear, and uniform results. In a successful sterilization cycle, the indicator sheet turns a uniform dark brown/black color, while air-removal failures, such as leaks, are easily detected. Each test pack can be filed for record-keeping, supporting quality control and regulatory compliance. The tests have a two-year shelf life for extended usability.
