TYPE 5 CHEMICAL VAPOR INTEGRATOR – HYGI-LINE

Operating principle

The HYGI-LINE Type 5 chemical vapor integrator allows for precise control of the effectiveness of steam sterilization cycles. It simultaneously checks all critical process parameters: time, temperature, and presence of saturated steam.

Designed to respond to all essential cycle variables, it provides clear and immediate results thanks to mobile front ink technology with simple "Accept/Reject" visual readout. It is a reliable solution for the release of critical loads, including implants and surgical instruments.

If the ink does not reach the "Accept" zone, the cycle has not met the required conditions. The contents must not be released.

Advantages

Complete monitoring of critical parameters: time, temperature, steam

Instant and unambiguous reading thanks to mobile front ink technology

Quick visual interpretation Accept/Reject

High reliability for critical loads and implants

Compliant with ISO 11140-1:2014 (Type 5)

Compact size (52 × 23 mm) — fits in all pouches and trays

Facilitates traceability: each test can be archived in the sterilization file

Ready to use, single use

Latex-free, phthalate-free (DEHP), free of animal or biological products

Instructions for use

Remove an integrator from the box.

Place it inside the tray, bag, or container, in the area considered most difficult to sterilize (the area least accessible to steam).

Start the steam sterilization cycle as normal.

At the end of the cycle, remove the integrator and check for ink migration.

Compare the result: "Accept" zone = parameters achieved, cycle compliant; "Reject" zone = cycle non-compliant.

Archive the test for traceability.

Single-use product. Do not reuse.

Technical specifications

Indicator type: Chemical vapor integrator – Type 5 Standard: ISO 11140-1:2014

Parameters monitored: Time, temperature, saturated vapor

Technology: Mobile front ink

Test dimensions: 52 × 23 mm

Sterile: No

Medical device: Not classified as a medical device

Latex: No Phthalates (DEHP): No

Animal or biological products: No

Use: Single use

Manufacturer: HYGITECH

Storage

Store away from light and moisture. Shelf life: 2 years in the original packaging.

When to use a Type 5 integrator?

Unlike pass indicators (Class 1), which only confirm that the pouch has passed through the autoclave, the Type 5 integrator validates that the actual sterilization conditions have been achieved inside the packaging. It is recommended to place one integrator in each load, ideally in the pouch or tray that is most difficult to sterilize.

The Type 5 integrator complements daily checks (Bowie Dick test, Helix test) and biological checks. It is part of a comprehensive approach to controlling infection risk in the practice.
