Batch Control Helix Test (PCD)

The Helix PCD test is an excellent test to detect even the smallest amounts of inert gases and steam penetration capabilities.

The EN 867 Part 5 is describing a Helix PCD based steam penetration test as an alternative for the Bowie & Dick Test for bench top steam sterilziers Class B The EN 285 is specifying the Helix PCD test for hospital steam sterilizers when it is mainly used to sterilize hollow loads.
