New Class 6 indicator monitors steam cycles
There's a new type of sterilization indicator on the block—the Class 6 emulating indicator. Steris recently received 510k clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to market the first Class 6 chemical indicators for steam sterilization in the US. The indicators are being sold under the brand name Verify SixCess. Class 6 indicators have been available for some time in Europe, Canada, and other parts of the world. Other companies are reportedly also planning to market Class 6 indicators in the US.
