Subject: Monitoring of ETO Sterilization

Bowie Dick test Pack is a chemical indicator of Browne International used to test the functioning of an autoclave (Steam Sterilizer). It also gives us a dignostic result. I would like to know whether there is any method (Chemical Indicators) to monitor the functioning of an ETO Sterilizer? If yes please give the details.

Dear,

There are no chemical indicators that control the functioning of an ethylene oxide sterilizer.
What you can find are chemical indicators and integrators that are sensitive to all critical sterilization parameters, process indicators e.g..
For more information on these I refer you to the websites of our industrial partners Browne and 3M.

Kind regards,
