Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) require manufacturers to demonstrate and document an effective, controlled and reproducible sterilization process. The daily use of air removal tests helps meet cGMPs by demonstrating the effectiveness of pre-vacuum cycles in steam sterilizers.
Steraffirm Bowie-Dick Test Packs from STERIS Life Sciences are pre-assembled, single-use test packs designed to evaluate the performance of the air removal system of a pre-vacuum equipped sterilizer.
