The Integrator is designed and based upon the ISO 11140 part 1 standard. The Integrator
indicators are turning into their end-color when the combination of sterilization temperature,
holding time and saturated steam presence have been sufficient. As such the Integrator can detect
following problems:
✦- Sterilization temperature too low
✦- Sterilization temperature too high
✦- Sterilization holding time too short
✦- Sterilization holding time too long
✦- Insufficient steam penetration in loads (at the spot where the indicator is placed)
After opening the pack at the operating room and evaluating the color of the indicators to meet the
reference color the Integrator can be stored or evidence can be recorded in the patient file. There is
no legal need to store the Integrator as long as the result is recorded and signed for in the
operating file or patient file.
The Integrator is changing color from initial color (blue) into its end color pink. (refer to REF color
on the integrator). The indicators are calibrated upon the following temp/time combinations:
134ºC – 3,5 min / 121ºC – 15,0 min

The Sterintech™ Type 5 Integrator is compliant to the following standard:
Chemical Indicator: ISO 11140-1: 2014 Type 5
