Helix Test & PCD

• Helix Test PCD Test (process challenge device) is used as a daliy test for pre-vacuum hospital sterilizers and for bench top steam sterilisers Class B for steam penetration and inert gases.

• An excellent test to detect even the smallest amount of inert gases and steam penetration capabilities.

• The EN 867 Part 5 is describing a Helix PCD based steam penetration test as an alternative for the Bowie & Dick Test for bench top steam sterilisers.     

• It can also be used to ensure maximum steam penetration where hollow instruments or instruments with small lumina are concerned.
