Bowie & Dick Test Card consists of a Class 2 toxic metals free chemical indicator printed on a 89 mm x 48 mm support.
Cycle information can be recorded on the back of the indicator, thus allowing a permanent record of the process.
Chemical indicator changes from purple to green when processed. An heterogeneous color change, i.e the presence of purple color, indicates presence of an air pocket during the sterilization cycle thus indicating sterilizer malfunction.
