The Dart® daily air removal test is a pre-assembled Bowie-Dick test pack products used in monitoring healthcare steam sterilizers.

• Lightweight, compact, one-piece system ready for use
• Indicator strip can be kept as a permanent record
• Lot number and expiration date on each test
• Operates at 270-274°F/132-134°C with an exposure time of 3.5-4.0 minutes.

The daily air removal test is placed directly into an otherwise empty steam sterilizer chamber and does not require a retaining device. During processing, steam must displace the air through the blue heat sink and then within the restricted transparent chamber of the chemical indicator. Results are immediately visible through the clear vial. A uniform color change from yellow to black indicates that all the air was removed and replaced by steam. When the test is completed, simply snap off the window, slide out the chemical indicator, and record the results. Special record forms are included.
