Bowie-Dick Helix PCD Test System
The Bowie-Dick Helix Test System (With PCD / Complete Kit) is specifically engineered to evaluate the air removal capability and detect potential air leaks in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers (autoclaves). Serving as a modern, eco-friendly, and practical alternative to conventional cotton textile test packs, it challenges the sterilizer via its lumened structure to verify whether the vacuum pump functions efficiently and whether evacuated air is uniformly replaced by saturated steam. Performed each morning as a routine daily release test prior to the first processing load, this test technically confirms that the autoclave is fully qualified and operational for safe daily use.
Key Benefits
Ensures steam reaches all areas of the load via the PCD or Helix system.
Provides clear visual verification of successful sterilization.
Self-adhesive indicators placed in the capsule at the end of the tubing provide simple monitoring.
Complies with EC directives.
