AN-1071 - Humidichips

The Humidichip® is a unique product, designed as a relative humidity stabiliser for Andersen sterilisation system. It ensures that the humidity inside the liner bag is in the required 35%-90% range throughout the sterilisation cycle.Humidity is required for EtO to be an effective steriliant. In heated cabinets, Humidichips should always be used. In ambient temperature cabinets, Humidichips may not always be necessary. However their use ensures effective sterilisation without having to assess and monitor ambient conditions.

Each single use Humidichip releases up to 4 gms of water vapour, from the Tyvek pouch. They are supplied in packs of 25, inside a re-sealable Humidity proof pack, which ensures the Humidichips do not dry out on storage.

The Humidichip has been developed to work with the Humiditube which guarantees that there is free air circulation around the Humidichip, thereby ensuring that the chip performs at maximum efficiency.
