Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Cross-Checks EO Integrator is a Type 4 Multicritical Process Variable Indicator for Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization, designed to monitor and confirm sterilization conditions in gas sterilizers. It provides a visual confirmation that the sterilization cycle has achieved the required parameters, ensuring process integrity for medical devices and instruments.
This device is supplied as a single-use, non-sterile indicator in packs of 24 bags, each containing 250 strips. It complies with ISO 11140-1 standards for Type 4 indicators and is intended for use in EO sterilizers operating at temperatures between 132°C and 135°C (270°F–276°F). Authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance (K951113), it is classified as a Class II device under the FDA’s regulatory framework.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What is the Cross-Checks EO Integrator used for in an EO sterilization process?
The Cross-Checks EO Integrator is a Type 4 Multicritical Process Variable Indicator specifically designed to monitor and visually confirm that Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization cycles meet the required temperature parameters—between 132°C and 135°C (270°F–276°F)—for medical devices and instruments. It ensures process integrity by providing a visual confirmation that the sterilization conditions were achieved, helping to validate the effectiveness of the cycle.
How is the Cross-Checks device supplied, and is it reusable?
The Cross-Checks device is supplied as a single-use indicator, packaged in packs of 24 bags, with each bag containing 250 strips. Because it is intended for one-time use, it cannot be reused after a single sterilization cycle. This design ensures accuracy and reliability for each cycle, as reuse could compromise the integrity of the indicator.
Does the Cross-Checks device come sterile, and what standards does it meet?
The Cross-Checks EO Integrator is supplied in a non-sterile form, meaning it is not pre-sterilized for clinical use. However, it complies with ISO 11140-1 standards for Type 4 indicators, which are designed to provide reliable visual confirmation of critical sterilization parameters in EO processes. This compliance ensures its accuracy in monitoring the sterilization cycle.
What temperature range does the Cross-Checks device monitor, and why is this important?
The Cross-Checks device is calibrated to monitor EO sterilization cycles within a temperature range of 132°C to 135°C (270°F–276°F). This range is critical because it falls within the validated parameters for effective EO sterilization, ensuring microbial lethality while preventing damage to heat-sensitive medical devices or instruments. The indicator confirms that the cycle stayed within this precise range.
How do I determine which model or size of Cross-Checks is appropriate for my EO sterilizer?
The Cross-Checks device is supplied in a standardized format—packs of 24 bags, each containing 250 strips—and is designed to be universally compatible with EO sterilizers operating within the specified temperature range (132°C–135°C). Since it is a single-use indicator, the choice depends solely on your sterilization cycle volume; simply select the quantity needed for your workload. No additional sizing or model selection is required beyond this, as the strips are interchangeable for monitoring.
