Lesson 28 · Sterilization Process
An incomplete record is as harmful as none. A recall relies on load records to find the packs.
In this lesson
Keep records that hold up, label every package with its load control number and log each cycle, respond to a failed chemical indicator, a physical monitor fault and a positive biological indicator, and know when a sterilizer needs qualification testing and why a facility can verify a manufacturer's validated cycle but never change it.
