Instructions for use
Select the cycle, placement and result interpretation according to this product’s instructions. A chemical indicator result alone does not establish sterility.
The narrow KRLT-104 strip is listed separately from the Type 4, Type 5 and Type 6 products. Its catalogue description does not provide a sufficiently clear basis to assign it one of those classifications here. Request the exact compatible application and acceptance reference for this code before adding it to a monitoring procedure.
Where it fits in your workflow
This narrow strip must be assigned only to the application explicitly covered by its own instructions. Before use, establish whether it is intended as a standalone indicator or a component in a specified test device. Dimensions and visual similarity do not establish interchangeability.
Practical use guide
Obtain the compatible device or placement instructions before starting. Check the product condition, lot and acceptance reference. Assemble and process only as specified for the model. Read the complete indicator response at the prescribed stage and record the result with the test or cycle identity.
Reading and documenting the result
Compare the complete response with the acceptance reference for this model. A partial, unclear or unexpected response needs investigation. Link the observation to the load record and follow the facility procedure for handling a nonconforming pack. Chemical response provides process information at the indicator location, not independent proof that every item is sterile.
Practical benefits
An internal result can help staff recognise a mismatch between chamber records and conditions experienced within a pack. Model and lot identification support an organised investigation when results differ. The benefit comes from correct selection and consistent recording, rather than from the indicator type number alone.
Selection questions
Before ordering, confirm the sterilization method, cycle range, intended placement and required indicator type. Ask for the model-specific acceptance reference. For an EO application, also confirm the validated process conditions; an EO indicator is not a measurement of residual gas or evidence that aeration is complete.
Questions before ordering
What should I include in a technical enquiry?
Include the exact product name or code, equipment, process, packaging material and intended monitoring task. If you are replacing an existing product, provide its instructions and explain the application rather than requesting equivalence by appearance alone. Krinmed can then identify the relevant model documentation for your evaluation.
Can I use an image as the result reference?
No. Screen colour, lighting and image processing can alter the appearance of an indicator. Read an actual test against the current reference and instructions supplied for that product. Website photographs support identification and presentation; they are not a calibrated colour standard.
