The Hygitech Helix Test – Pack of 100 is designed to verify the effectiveness of steam sterilisation cycles, helping healthcare and dental professionals maintain high infection control standards.
Easy to use and reliable, each test provides a clear indication of whether hollow instruments and porous loads have been properly sterilised, supporting compliance with sterilisation protocols.
Helix Test Principle
-
The steam should penetrate the inside of the coiled tube of the Helix Test, which is deliberately narrow, and cause a reaction on the strip printed with the indicator ink.
-
However, if the ink is still yellow or partially yellow then the test is considered negative (this means that the vapour has not penetrated properly to the indicator).
-
If the ink on the Helix Test strip turns completely black then the sterilisation is successful.
-
In the event of a failed test without on obvious cause then seek professional advice to validate the origin of the anomaly (incorrect calibration, contact time too low, etc).
