Emulating indicator (Class 6)
Also called: Class 6 chemical indicator, cycle verification indicator
Emulating indicator (Class 6) — A Class 6 chemical indicator designed to react to all critical variables of one specific cycle, for example 134 °C for 3.5 minutes.
Class 6 indicators are cycle-specific: a 134 °C indicator is made for that cycle and is not a substitute for monitoring a 121 °C cycle. They have tight tolerances, so a pass is strong evidence that the specified conditions were met inside the pack.
Choose the Class 6 indicator that matches the validated cycle your sterilizer runs, and record the result with the load.
