Description

Indicator Steri-ThermoTAG™ – Steam Sterilization Indicator Thermal-Transfer Labels

  • Autoclave indicator strip will allow you to quickly and easily identify if the material has in fact, been autoclaved, without the need to use additional autoclave sterilization tape
  • Printable with all common brands of thermal-transfer printers
  • Can resist high temperatures and saturated steam, ideal for autoclave sterilization cycles at 121°C (250°F) and 16.5 psi pressure

Combining two unique features, these permanent autoclave-resistant labels are thermal-transfer printable with sharp, smudge-proof serialized text and barcodes, and have an indicator strip that noticeably changes color (from white to charcoal gray) when the labels have been autoclaved. Ideal for identifying plastic, glass, and metal surfaces, they can be used to label plasticware, glassware, surgical instruments and trays, blister packs, sterilization pouches, Genesis™ sterilization containers, and more. Gamma Irradiation (up to 50 KGy) and ethylene oxide resistant. Perfectly suitable for use within a temperature range of -60°C to +150°C (From -76°F to + 300°F).
*Steam sterilization indicator labels are not intended for use as sterility indicators but rather as identification of items that have passed through an autoclave cycle. Indicator strip is used to monitor exposure to steam sterilization processes.
*Labels are not suitable for chemical exposure as indicator strip might be removed by rubbing with harsh chemicals and solvents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, our steam sterilization indicator labels are thermal-transfer printable and require an ink ribbon to be printed. To achieve the proper printout, these labels require an RR-class ink ribbon of the same width or larger.

These durable and permanent labels can be easily applied on a variety of surfaces, including packaging material, plastic bags, bottles, and metal surfaces routinely exposed to autoclaving.

These labels can resist temperatures as low as (-60°C/-76°F), perfect for use in different environments and storage conditions.

After exposure to one standard autoclave cycle (+121°C/+250°F at 16.5 psi pressure for 20 minutes), the indicator strip will change from white to charcoal-grey.

The indicator strip on these labels is designed to become apparent after exposure to one standard autoclave cycle; therefore, the labels are intended for one-time use.

No, these labels have a permanent adhesive that is not made for easy removal.

No, however, we do offer durable autoclave-resistant labels in a range of sizes without the indicator strip. Please see our Steri-ThermoTAG™ line of labels.
