What are the advantages to using Process Challenge Devices® for terminal sterilization of medical devices?

Process Challenge Devices (PCD®) are externally placed on pallets to assure terminal sterilization of medical devices. PCDs have defined resistance values that match internal sterilization challenges.

• PCDs from Mesa Labs has unique, patented packaging of self-contained B. atrophaeus biological indicators, which have reduced incubation times that allow for a quicker release.
• You can use our PCDs for both validation and routine monitoring of Ethylene Oxide sterilization cycles.
• PCDs have consistent and certified resistance to ISO 13485 quality systems for medical devices
