Sterintech Helix Batch Control Test (Steam Sterilization)

The Helix Batch Control Test (Steam Sterilization) is an ISO 11140-1 Type 2 chemical test system developed to verify the effectiveness of every sterilization cycle in steam sterilizers. Its Helix PCD (Process Challenge Device) and chemical indicator reliably detect steam leaks, poor steam quality, non-condensable gases and temperature- or time-related sterilization errors, helping to release the load safely. It delivers reliable results in daily routine checks and sterilization process verification.
