Question: 1 / 400

Which quality assurance measurement is designed to assess individual packaging penetration during sterilization?

Biological Indicators

Chemical Indicators

Chemical indicators are designed to assess individual packaging penetration during sterilization. These indicators change color when exposed to specific sterilization processes, such as heat or chemicals, indicating that the sterilization conditions have been met. They provide immediate visual confirmation that the sterilization process has reached the packaged items, ensuring that the sterilant has penetrated the packaging material effectively. Biological indicators are used to monitor the overall sterilization process by assessing the kill rate of specific organisms, not individual packaging penetration. Physical indicators monitor specific sterilization parameters like time, temperature, and pressure, while temperature indicators only measure temperature levels during the sterilization process. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
