摘要

A sterilization test pack, including a base comprising a pair of recessed compartments, wherein the recessed compartments are arranged in a non-concentric relationship and are in fluid communication with each other; a cover attached to the base and forming a sealed enclosure for the recessed compartments; an external channel providing the only fluid communication between the sealed enclosure and an external environment; a selected sterilization indicator in a first of the recessed compartments; and a chemical integrator and/or a chemical indicator in a second of the recessed compartments, in which the external channel is configured to allow only restricted flow of a gaseous sterilization medium into the recessed compartments and the base and cover are otherwise impenetrable by the gaseous sterilization medium.
