Indicator systems and material compression and insertion devices for preparing same

Abstract

(57) Summary book invention inserts a compressible material into a container, and positions it, it uses the container in order to detect the combination of a specific environmental parameter or a parameter, and it relates to the equipment and the method for judging a rate like this of a sterilization process. By positioning the plug of a material compressible into a container correctly, the flexibility for manufacture of the indicator from which the response to the sterilization upper surface changes is offered. These indicators reflect the effect of sterilization equipment based on the sterilization for the right surveillance in each mode, and the various modes of refreshable nature. In order that the present invention may judge the efficiency of the examination indicator and the sterilization process of various types which the material of gas permeability into which the controlled quantity was compressed again is included, the method of using an examination indicator is also related. This examination indicator consists of enzyme of the plurality prepared in the container which has at least one opening which carries out an interaction. The insertion which consists of form of the compressed cylinder type is filled up with this opening, and an examination indicator is arranged in a sterilization chamber. The insertion which consists of forms adjusts the quantity of sterilization agents, such as steam, gas, a chemical substance, or plasma which enters in an examination indicator. If suitable sterilization is made, a sterilization agent will destroy the enzyme which carries out an interaction, and pigment output will not be formed. The interaction of an enzyme system approximates inactivity for the bacterial spore which received sterilization processing. A result is obtained from several seconds in several hours. This examination indicator can also be arranged in the container equipped with the material that the design is carrying out false of the environmental parameter examination of a sterilization process again.
