CliniEco Medical Steam Chemical Integrator — Class 5, ISO 11140-1 Type 5, 100-Pack
CliniEco Medical Steam Chemical Integrator — Class 5, ISO 11140-1 Type 5, 100-Pack
Class 5 steam chemical integrator at $14.99 per 100-pack — multi-parameter sterilization verification that performs like a biological indicator, without the 24-hour wait. Each strip combines time, temperature and saturated-steam response into one clear pass/fail window, giving your clinic an immediate, in-pack check on every sterilization cycle. ISO 11140-1 Type 5 performance — the same classification used by 3M Attest 1243 and Crosstex STEAMPlus — at roughly 40–50% of their per-strip cost.

Features
- ✓ Biological-indicator-level assurance, same-day answer — Type 5 integrators correlate with BI response across 121°C, 128°C and 135°C; no 24–48h incubation
- ✓ Three critical parameters in one strip — time, temperature and saturated steam; a single ink front confirms all were met
- ✓ Unambiguous pass/fail window — dark bar must enter the ACCEPT zone; eliminates guesswork compared with single-parameter Class 1–4 indicators
- ✓ Laminated construction — plastic-coated strip resists moisture and handling damage inside the pack
- ✓ Place inside every pack or tray — use with sterilizer trays, cassettes, wrapped packs and peel pouches
- ✓ No equipment lock-in — works with any steam autoclave; no reader or incubator required

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Class 5 and Class 4 indicators?
A: Class 4 multi-variable indicators react to two parameters; Class 5 integrating indicators react to all critical parameters (time, temperature, steam) in a way that correlates with biological indicator performance. Class 5 is the higher assurance level.
Q: Do I still need biological indicators if I use Class 5 integrators?
A: Yes. Health Canada and CDC guidance still recommend weekly spore testing (biological indicators) for sterilizer qualification; Class 5 integrators provide per-pack, per-cycle verification in between.
Q: What cycles can this integrator monitor?
A: Steam cycles from 121°C to 135°C, including gravity displacement, pre-vacuum and IUSS (flash) cycles.
Q: Is this a Health Canada licensed medical device?
A: Chemical indicators are Class I devices in Canada, distributed under our MDEL (in process). We will update this page with our MDEL number upon approval.
Q: Can I get my clinic logo on the packaging?
A: Yes — we offer private-label branding on bulk orders. Ask for details via the B2B quote form.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Class 5 chemical integrator?
A Class 5 integrator (ISO 11140-1 Type 5) is a multi-parameter chemical indicator that responds to all critical variables of a steam sterilization cycle — temperature, time and steam quality. It's the closest chemical equivalent to a biological indicator.
How is a Class 5 integrator different from Class 4?
Class 4 indicators respond to two or more critical variables; Class 5 integrators respond to ALL critical variables. Class 5 provides a higher level of cycle verification confidence, which is why many dental offices use them for every load.
How do I read the integrator after a cycle?
After sterilization, compare the indicator strip to the reference colour. A pass means the internal indicator has changed to the 'Accept' colour, confirming all critical parameters were met.
How many integrators are in a pack?
Each box contains 100 Class 5 steam chemical integrators, sufficient for daily monitoring in a busy dental practice for several months.
Is the integrator ISO compliant?
Yes. The integrator meets ISO 11140-1 Type 5 requirements for chemical indicators used in steam sterilization.
