At what temperature and exposure time should Bowie Dick test pack be run in the sterilizer?

275 degrees for 2 minutes
250 degrees for 4 minutes
273 degrees for 3.5 to 4.0 minutes
265 degrees for 3 minutes

The correct answer is: 273 degrees for 3.5 to 4.0 minutes

The correct temperature and exposure time for running a Bowie Dick test pack in the sterilizer is 273 degrees Fahrenheit for 3.5 to 4.0 minutes. This specific combination ensures that the sterilizer effectively removes air from the chamber, helping to verify the functionality of the air removal system. Options A, B, and D provide different temperature and exposure time combinations that are not in line with the standard requirements for conducting a Bowie Dick test pack in a sterilizer.
