Bowie Dick Test Pack

Bowie Dick Test Pack is a type of sterilization challenge test. It consists of sheets that make it difficult for steam to leak into the indicator, and a chemical indicator card that changes color when exposed to steam under certain conditions. The test is typically performed at the first load of the day and is used to verify that the autoclave is working properly before it is used to sterilize medical equipment or supplies. The Bowie Dick Test Pack is named after James Bowie and Alastair Dick, who developed the test in the 1960s.
