An autoclave's maintenance, in this pack, is the door gasket, the recorder, the steam trap, and the safety-valve tag, with the chamber idle. The cycle itself belongs to the site's validated procedure.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under autoclave, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
The PMs ChatterFix schedules against this equipment, with intervals and time estimates.
