The autoclave door seal and the recorder are what show the last cycle was actually captured, and the chamber is idle while you look. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Do not edit a validated cycle, temperature, or time. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

The gasket weeps, the chart sits blank, and the next load runs because the schedule said the sterilizer was free. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Do not edit a validated cycle, temperature, or time.
Monthly, with the chamber idle. A recorder that missed the last cycle holds the machine. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.
This procedure — and every other PM for your industry — is already built into ChatterFix. Pick your industry and it lands on the right equipment, on the right interval, in about three minutes.
