Propper Vapor Line Steam Type 5 integrators

The Vapor Line Type 5 integrator is designed to show equivalence in performance to biological indicators. During sterilization, the dark colored bar migrates along a paper wick through PASS and FAIL areas, indicating whether the sterilization conditions were met. The PASS result assures that conditions in the sterilized pack were sufficient to kill even the most resistant forms of microorganisms plus an “overkill period” – a safety zone beyond the spore death curve for an additional level of sterilization security.

Vapor Line with Extender is recommended as an aid for secure sterile presentation. The right end of the extender contains a color reactive ink imprint that acts as a process indicator and gives your sterile processing personnel a quick visual check that the pack has passed through a sterilization cycle. The extender also aids in handling, pack placement and extraction of the Vapor Line integrator.
