The most rigorous sterilisation challenge device in the world — 10x harder than a dental handpiece. If your steriliser passes the X-PCD, every handpiece in that cycle is validated. No guesswork, no liability. KEY BENEFITS Creates a sterilisation challenge 10x greater than any dental handpiece — the ultimate performance benchmark Paired with X-Class indicators, validates all 4 critical parameters in every cycle Validates all handpieces in the load simultaneously — no individual testing required Produces auditable cycle-by-cycle performance records for compliance and accreditation Reusable metallic device — replace only the X-Class indicator strips each cycle ✓ COMPLIANCE: ISO 11140-6 · Made in Australia — Proudly Australian How It Works In dentistry, the handpiece is the only instrument classified as 'critical' — its internal lumens cannot be disassembled or visually inspected during cleaning and sterilisation. This makes it impossible to verify sterilisation efficacy with standard monitoring alone. The X-PCD is engineered to be 10x more challenging than the internal geometry of any dental handpiece. When an X-Class indicator inside the X-PCD shows a pass, it means steam has penetrated further and more effectively than your most complex instrument demands. One X-PCD per cycle validates every hollow instrument in the load. Where To Use Run one X-PCD per steriliser cycle as the routine process challenge (Class B pre-vacuum autoclaves) Required for compliance with AS/NZS 4815:2006 hollow load validation Suitable for all pre-vacuum autoclaves used in dental surgeries, day surgeries, and medical centres New steriliser commissioning and recommissioning after service or fault Specifications and Compliance Single reusable metallic device Replace X-Class indicator strips each cycle (sold separately here) Standard coupling thread — fits all Class B autoclave chamber sizes Conforms: ISO 11140-6 Made in Australia Safety Handling Sheet - Download
