Chemical Indicators/Integrators
- Chemical indicators show that the package has been exposed to the physical conditions within a sterilizer; they do not prove that sterilization has taken place.
- There are several types of chemical indicators available. Each type is meant to monitor specific parameters such as time, temperature, and/or the presence of steam or gas.
- External chemical indicators which are placed on the outside of the package and should be checked after the sterilization process.
- Internal chemical indicators which are placed within the package in an area that is least accessible to the sterilant and should be checked at point-of-use. If parameters are not met, the product should NOT be considered sterile and should be reprocessed before use.
- A special type of chemical indicator, called a chemical integrator measures time, steam, and temperature.
- Chemical indicators are best when used with every load inside each package or placed among unwrapped instruments. Follow the chemical indicator manufacturer's instructions for interpretation of results.
