The dick test pack, also known as a Bowie Dick test pack, helps hospital teams check air removal and steam penetration in compatible pre-vacuum autoclaves. It uses a chemical indicator sheet that changes colour under specified test conditions. Therefore, staff can review the indicator pattern after the test cycle.
Proper air removal is important because trapped air can prevent steam from reaching all parts of a test pack. As a result, a Bowie Dick test helps staff identify possible sterilizer performance problems before routine processing.
Each package contains 10 single-use test packs. Also, the reference lists a pink-to-black indicator change and traceable lot details. However, staff must follow the instructions for the actual supplied batch. A Bowie Dick test does not prove that every processed instrument is sterile.

First, a Bowie Dick test helps staff check whether a compatible sterilizer removes air from the chamber effectively. Also, it supports routine monitoring of steam penetration.
In addition, the colour-change sheet provides a visible test result. Teams can review the pattern and record the findings under their sterilization policy.
However, an acceptable indicator result does not confirm the sterility of every medical item. Therefore, staff must continue using the required cycle records, chemical indicators and biological monitoring.
For suitable steam sterilizer performance checks.
For approved pre-vacuum autoclave testing.
For planned air removal tests and records.
For facilities operating compatible sterilizers.
This dick test pack may suit hospitals, surgical centres and sterile processing departments that operate compatible pre-vacuum autoclaves. Also, purchase teams can plan the pack of ten according to their testing schedule. Before ordering, confirm the approved cycle and indicator instructions.

It helps identify problems with air removal or steam penetration during an approved test cycle.
Each product pack contains ten single-use Bowie Dick test packs.
The reference lists pink to black. However, staff must compare the actual pattern with the supplied pass/fail guide.
The reference lists 134°C for 3.5 minutes. For any other cycle, follow the exact product and sterilizer instructions.
No. Bowie Dick testing is intended for compatible air-removal sterilizers. Check the sterilizer and test-pack instructions first.
No. It supports air removal and steam penetration checks. However, sterility assurance needs other monitoring steps.
No. Each pack is for one test only. After use, staff must follow the approved disposal and record-keeping method.
Only trained personnel should perform Bowie Dick testing. First, confirm that the test pack and sterilizer are compatible. Also, follow the approved test cycle and indicator guide. Do not use a passed Bowie Dick test as proof that every load is sterile. If the indicator pattern shows a possible failure, follow the facility's approved investigation process before returning the sterilizer to routine service.
Browse the Autoclave Sterilizers Collection to compare steam sterilizer models and their supported features.
For a related steam sterilizer, explore the Automatic PLC Horizontal Autoclave SS304. Check whether its cycle programmes support the required Bowie Dick test.
For another part of steam-cycle monitoring, view the Biological Indicator Vials for Steam Sterilization. These serve a different monitoring purpose and do not replace Bowie Dick testing.
