The
Bowie-Dick test is a critical diagnostic procedure used to verify the effectiveness of air removal and steam penetration in pre-vacuum (Type B) steam sterilizers. Named after Dr. J.H. Bowie and J. Dick, it was first introduced in 1963 and has since become a global standard for sterilization quality control.
