Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator 1243A, 2" x 3/4"
Type 5 Integrator - Moving Front Ink - ACCEPT and REJECT Zones - Box of 500

The Attest™ Steam Chemical Integrator 1243A is a Type 5 chemical integrator for internal pack monitoring of steam sterilization cycles, conforming to ISO 11140-1:2014. Attest is a Solventum brand, formerly 3M, and the 1243A was previously sold as the 3M Attest Steam Chemical Integrator. Placed inside each pack, the 1243A lets staff verify that the necessary sterilization conditions were reached at the point of use before instruments are released. It uses moving front ink technology with clearly defined ACCEPT (green) and REJECT (red) zones, so results can be interpreted quickly at a glance.

The 1243A is designed to correlate with the performance of a biological indicator at three time and temperature relationships. A scannable 2-D barcode on the front carries the lot code and expiration date for easy entry into tracking and record-keeping systems. The back of the integrator is printed and coloured for high visibility, making it easy to spot if it flips over in a surgical tray. Each integrator measures 51.1 x 19 mm (2 x 3/4 in) and has a shelf life of 3 years. Each box contains 500 integrators.
