Bowie & Dick test
Product Description
With reference to the European Standard EN 285, the Bowie Dick Test is a mandatory test for steam sterilizers.
This functionality test for steam sterilizers needs to be done at the beginning of the working day or when changing shifts. After a successful pass of the Bowie & Dick test the steam sterilizer can be released for use.
The type of Bowie & Dick test that is required depends on the configuration of you load.
As a manufacturer Famos offers both types of tests: the Bowie & Dick Test Pack (for porous loads) as well as the Bowie & Dick Test Set including a Helix test device (for hollow loads).
Compared to the BD Test Pack (porous loads) the Bowie & Dick Test Set simulates a hollow instrument and generates a bigger challenge for the steam sterilizer and the steam sterilization process.
