ValueTest TrueLine 5 Class 5 Steam Chemical Integrators give your practice instant, in-pack verification that sterilization conditions were met — right where steam penetration is hardest to achieve. Designed for gravity and pre-vacuum steam sterilizers, each integrator responds to all three critical parameters of steam sterilization: time, temperature, and steam.
How It Works
Each integrator contains a temperature- and steam-sensitive chemical pellet sealed in a paper/film/foil laminate. During the cycle, the pellet melts and migrates along a paper wick as a dark front, visible through a clearly marked window:
- ACCEPT — the color bar entered the ACCEPT zone: all critical steam sterilization parameters were met
- REJECT — the bar remained in the REJECT zone: reprocess the pack and investigate the cycle
No interpretation charts, no guesswork — a clear pass/fail read in seconds.
Key Features
- Class 5 / Type 5 chemical integrator — the highest-accuracy chemical indicator class, responding to all critical variables
- Validated for gravity and pre-vacuum steam sterilizers: 121°C for 12+ minutes and 134°C for 3.5+ minutes
- Place one in every pack, peel pouch, cassette, container, or tray for load-by-load internal monitoring
- Result remains readable for up to 6 months after processing when stored correctly — ideal for record-keeping
- 3-year shelf life from date of manufacture (unopened)
- Suited to dental offices, medical clinics, tattoo and aesthetics studios, veterinary practices, and labs
Directions for Use
- Place an integrator inside each pack or pouch in the area least accessible to steam. For large packs, use multiple integrators at several locations.
- Run the load per your established sterilization procedure.
- After the cycle, confirm the color bar has migrated into the ACCEPT zone before releasing instruments.
Storage
Store unopened/resealed packages at room temperature (15–30°C), 35–60% relative humidity, away from direct sunlight and strong alkaline or acidic products (e.g., cleaning and disinfecting agents).
Not for use with dry heat, ethylene oxide, or other low-temperature sterilization processes.
