Electronic Bowie & Dick test

The electronic Bowie & Dick test simplifies checks, eliminates paper support and optimizes costs thanks to the already proven reader/software architecture of the WI SCAN^® System for reading and archiving data.

The electronic Bowie & Dick test of the WI SCAN^® System is reusable from one year to the next without limitation, thus going beyond the notion of consumable to impose the responsible use of resources. The environmental benefit is immediate.

The electronic Bowie & Dick measuring device of the WI SCAN^® System consists of a cylindrical detection chamber (1) closed at one end and two temperature probes. The internal probe (2) is placed at the bottom of the detection chamber and the external probe (3) on the surface of the device. During the sterilization cycle, after air extraction, the mixture of steam and non-condensable gases (CNG) progresses along the chamber. The vapor condenses and the proportion of non-condensable gases increases at the expense of the vapor to reach a maximum at the bottom of the chamber.
