The red dot on the box of needles indicates that the needles have been sterilized via gamma ray sterilization. The sticker starts off being yellow, and once it has been exposed to the gamma sterilization rays at a certain level of radiation, the sticker turns from yellow to red. This allows us to see at a glance that the needles in the box are safe and ready to be shipped to your clinic.

This is a critical step in our quality assurance procedures.
