1) Pre-heat the autoclave, up to working temperature.
Note: Performing the Helix test on a cold autoclave can lead to incorrect results
2) Open the Helix Device, then take one strip from the book of 250, fold in half (test squares to the outside and adhesive backing to the inside) and insert the test strip into the slot in the device.

3) Close the Helix Device and place the Helix Device in the front of autoclave near the door.
4) Close the autoclave and process a sterilisation cycle.
5) The AVS Helix Strip will change from a Purple Colour to GREEN. If the WHOLE strip is GREEN you have a successful test.
6) Date the Strip, remove adhesive backing and stick into your Log Book.
