OK Strips are indicators that monitor all critical sterilization parameters: steam, time and temperature. In sterilization cycles OK strips guard against incomplete steam penetration, presence of non-condensing gases or excessive air, as well as from inadequate temperature or insufficient exposure time.
The pre-printed standard reference color permits rapid and certain visualization of the results. If the sterilization conditions meet requirements, the arrow and the K will change to become at least as dark as the reference color O forming the OK expression. The color response pattern may be used for sterilizer diagnostic evaluation.
The indicator dot imprint on the distal end of the 8'' strip permits a secure sterile presentation. Only if this dot is dark may sterile personnel handle the strip and the package contents. Without such assurance contamination of personnel becomes a real risk.
