https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/31691/using-bowie-dick-strips-to-test-autoclave Hello all! I’m looking to test our autoclave. I’ve never used a Bowie Dick test before. Do you just put it in first thing in the morning and run a regular cycle? Thanks! en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/174821?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 26 Jun 2019 20:54:27 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:ad3391e5-b508-4f69-8227-3bb18fe44f7bSal the 1st<p>are you using tubes or tape or strips? If tubes make sure they have been stored properly pack them as you would if you are packing a kit - run a cycle and open the pack and check the colour change against the chart. We used to use them routinely every run where I worked in the past, or if not the tubes you can stick either an indicator strip or even a bit of tape inside a pack - run your cycle then open your pack and check for colour change</p> <p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
