    Dear all – just wondering if you are all using internal chemical
    indicators in your sterilization packages. . We have used them for years
    and also have a print out of the run. From my reading of AS 4187 it
    seems an optional thing “chemical indicator may be used..” AS 4187
    8.6.2.2 (b).
    We use a Class 4 indicator. Thanks Jenny

    Hi Jenny

    Yes, I agree. As stipulated in the current standard. Although most if not all of us use internal CI anyway, it has always been a better (best) practice for the end users to verify that a packaged item has successfully gone through a sterilisation process.
    We use class 5 and sometimes Class 6.

    Happy processing

    Roel
