INDICATOR means a test or device designed to validate one or more of the following critical variables of an autoclave cycle: time, temperature, and steam/pressure. The three types of indicators are chemical, biological, and mechanical. CHEMICAL INDICATOR means a substance that undergoes a distinct observable change when conditions in its solution change while measuring the sterilization process. This could be a color change, precipitate formation, or bubble formation, in order to show a temperature change, or other measurable quality. BIOLOGICAL INDICATOR (BI) means a test system containing viable microorganisms (spores) providing a defined resistance to a specific sterilization process. A biological indicator provides information on whether necessary conditions were met to kill a specified number of microorganisms for a given sterilization process. MECHANICAL INDICATOR means a self-recording gauge used to verify the time, pressure and/ or temperature obtained during the sterilization process. INFORMED CONSENT AND RELEASE FORM means a form signed by a client prior to a body art procedure to confirm that they agree to the procedure and are aware of any risks that might be involved.

INTEGRATOR also referred to as Type 5 Integrator or an Integrating Indicator, means a device designed to validate all three of the following critical variables of an autoclave cycle: time, temperature, and steam under pressure.
JEWELRY means any biocompatible object that is worn through a body piercing.
LICENSE means written approval by the Department to operate a body art establishment or to perform body art. Approval is given in accordance with this Code and in addition to any other local, state, or federal requirements.
