Sterintech Plasma Sterilization Helix Batch Control Test (PCD)

The Plasma Sterilization Helix Batch Control Test (PCD) is an ISO 11140-1 Type 2 chemical test system developed to verify the effectiveness of every sterilization cycle in hydrogen peroxide plasma (VH₂O₂) sterilizers. The Helix device and indicator reliably detect leaks, insufficient plasma concentration, overloading, vacuum problems and cycle-time-related errors, helping to release the load safely. The test system includes a specially designed PCD (Process Challenge Device) that simulates the most difficult lumen conditions to sterilize in plasma sterilizers.

Product Features
