How Class 5 indicators work
A Class 5 indicator responds to all specified critical variables for which it has been designed. These strips monitor exposure time, temperature and the presence of steam. A completed colour change shows that the indicator has been exposed to the specified conditions, but it does not independently prove sterility of the instruments.
