Indicator tapes, classified as Class 1 process indicators, are utilized for exposure monitoring. They assure the operator that the pack has undergone the sterilization process without the necessity of opening the pack or consulting load control records. For convenient dispensing, optional tape dispensers are available.
●Chemical process indicators change color when exposed to the steam sterilization process, providing assurance that the packs have been processed without needing to open them.
●The versatile tape adheres to all types of wraps and allows the user to write on it.

What is indicator tape used for?
Indicator tape is used in sterilization processes to provide a visual confirmation that items have been exposed to specific sterilization conditions, such as steam, ethylene oxide, or dry heat.
What type of indicator is color-changing tape?
Color-changing tape, often referred to as indicator tape, is a type of chemical indicator used in sterilization processes. Specifically, it is classified as a Class 1 process indicator. Here are the key characteristics and functions of this type of indicator:
Class 1 Process Indicator:
It provides a visual confirmation that an item has been exposed to the sterilization process. Class 1 indicators are intended to distinguish between processed and unprocessed items by undergoing a color change when exposed to the sterilization conditions.
Chemical Indicator:
The tape contains chemicals that react to specific sterilization parameters (such as temperature, steam, or pressure). When the conditions are met, the chemical reaction causes a visible color change on the tape.
Exposure Monitoring:
It is used to monitor exposure to the sterilization process, giving assurance that the pack has undergone the sterilization cycle.
Convenience:
Allows users to confirm sterilization without opening the package or relying on load control records, offering a quick and easy visual check.
