About 3M Comply SteriGage Chemical Integrator (1243A)
What it is & how it works
The 3M Comply SteriGage 1243A is a Class 5 chemical integrating indicator for steam sterilization. Placed inside each pack, it reacts to the three conditions required for sterilization (time, temperature and the presence of saturated steam) and shows the result as an easy-to-read moving front. Within seconds you can confirm whether the process conditions were met inside the pack, giving sterile-processing teams immediate, reliable feedback.
Where it's used
SteriGage integrators are used in sterile processing to:
- Monitor sterilization conditions inside each pack or tray
- Provide an immediate ACCEPT / REJECT read before items are released
- Support documentation and quality assurance in CSSD
For professional/clinical use within a validated sterilization-monitoring program. Follow your facility's protocols and the product instructions for use.
How to use
- Place an integrator inside each pack or tray, in the location most challenging for steam to reach.
- Run the steam sterilization cycle (250-275°F).
- After the cycle, retrieve and read the moving front.
- Confirm the front has reached the ACCEPT zone before releasing the pack.
- Record the result per your facility's documentation process.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Class 5 integrator?
An indicator that responds to all critical variables of the sterilization cycle (time, temperature and saturated steam), matching the performance points of a biological indicator.
What does it monitor?
Time, temperature and the presence of saturated steam inside each pack.
How do I read the result?
A moving front advances into an ACCEPT (or REJECT) zone, readable within seconds.
Which cycles is it for?
Standard steam cycles at 250-275°F.
Why a moving front instead of a colour change?
Moving-front indicators have shown higher reading accuracy than colour-interpretation indicators.
Is this for home use?
No. It's a professional sterile-processing product for clinical and laboratory settings.
Does it replace a biological indicator?
It's a chemical integrator used within a monitoring program; follow your facility's protocols regarding biological-indicator use.
How is it supplied?
As a bulk box of integrator strips. See the pack quantity on the listing.
