SOLVENTUM (3M) Comply™ SteriGage™ Chemical Integrator #1243B – Class 5 Pack Control (100 pieces)

[AcmeDent sku='GE1064']

Ensure your dental sterilization protocols are uncompromised with the SOLVENTUM (3M) Comply™ SteriGage™ Chemical Integrator #1243B. Designed for internal pack control during steam sterilization in dental and surgical settings, this Class 5 chemical integrator monitors critical process variables — time, temperature and steam — to confirm that each instrument‑pack has been exposed to the conditions necessary for proper sterilization.

Key Features

• Compliant with ISO 11140‑1:2014 Type 5 standards for chemical integrators. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
• Designed for 121 °C to 135 °C (250 °F – 275 °F) steam sterilization cycles — ideal for pre‑vacuum and gravity steam autoclaves. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Advanced “moving‑front” ink technology with clearly defined “ACCEPT” (green) and “REJECT” (red) zones for rapid, unambiguous read‑out. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• High‑visibility backing: red/white reverse side for easier retrieval if the integrator flips in trays. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Includes a 2‑D barcode with lot code and expiration date for seamless integration with instrument tracking systems. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Three‑year shelf life when stored properly. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Why This Matters in Dental Sterilization

In a dental operatory where each instrument pack must be reliably sterilized before use, a Class 5 chemical integrator serves as an essential quality‑control measure. Unlike basic indicator strips, the 1243B monitors all three critical parameters (time, temperature, steam) and correlates closely with biological indicator performance — offering confidence in proper instrument cycle processing and reducing risk of sterilization failures.

Application & Usage

Place one integrator inside each instrument pack or pouch before loading into the steam autoclave. Process the pack as usual. After the cycle, inspect the indicator window: if the ink front has migrated into the “ACCEPT” zone (green), the pack has achieved the required sterilization conditions. If the ink remains in the “REJECT” (red) area or otherwise fails, the load must be rejected and reprocessed. Document results in your sterilization log as part of the infection‑control protocol.

Pack Details

This offering is for a bag of 100 integrators (Model 1243B) — ideal for medium to high‑volume dental practices or treatment rooms with multiple instrument sets in rotation.

Note: Chemical integrators do not replace biological indicators if mandated by local regulation; they serve as supplementary load/process control within each pack.
