BOWIE DICK TEST

"Before that autoclave runs a single load today, it has to pass one test — the Bowie-Dick. If you're working with a pre-vacuum steam sterilizer, this is the first cycle of your day, and it tells you one critical thing: is air being removed and is steam penetrating the way it should? Because if air is trapped in that chamber, your instruments aren't getting sterilized — no matter what the printout says. In this video, I'll break down what the Bowie-Dick test is, why we run it, how to read a pass versus a fail, and the mistakes that trip up new techs. Let's get into it." #SterileProcessing #CRCST #BowieDickTest #CentralSterile #SPD #SterileProcessingTech #AutoclaveTesting #SteamSterilization #CentralServiceTech #HealthcareCareers #CRCSTprep #KruahConsultants #SterileProcessingClass #IAHCSMM #ST79 #SPDlife #InfectionPrevention #CentralSterileProcessing #HealthcareTraining #EnrollNow
