CONTROL TESTS
All SterilClave models provide two control test cycles: the Bowie & Dick test, and the
Vacuum test (air leakage test).
In addition, SterilClave B and BHD models allow tests with hollow A loads, according to
EN 13060 (Helix Test).
Bowie & Dick test
The Bowie & Dick test is used to check the proper steam penetration into porous loads
(e.g. gauzes and fabrics) and the efficiency of the air drain system.
The Cominox Bowie & Dick Test Pack consists of a package containing a chemical
process indicator, and its even color change ensures that the steam has penetrated
properly.
To run the test correctly, proceed as you would for any other sterilization cycle, but without
loading the sterilizer:
- turn the sterilizer on with the
main switch 13 .
- open the door 16.
- insert a Cominox Bowie & Dick test package on the lower tray.
- close the
door 16 .
- press ON and enter the access code.
- press the MENU key from STAND BY, select the Menu Cycle (number 1), and press ENTER.
- use the
↑↓ arrows to select the Bowie & Dick test cycle. Press ENTER to return to STAND BY.
- Press START in STAND BY mode and wait for the test to finish: the words CYCLE END and
the corresponding icon will appear on the screen.
- press STOP, enter the personal access code and open the
door 16 .
- remove the tray holding the test and check the results of the test according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Vacuum test
The Vacuum test is used to check the efficacy of the vacuum pump and the full, correct
seal of the hydraulic circuit.
In order to carry out the test correctly, follow the same procedures as for a normal
sterilization cycle, but do not load the sterilizer, and proceed as follows:
- turn the sterilizer on with the
main switch 13.
The Bowie & Dick test must always be run when the sterilizer is HOT, after having
run another cycle.
!
The Vacuum test must be carried out when the unit is COLD (room temperature).

The Bowie & Dick test has to be performed according to possible national
regulations.
