Why teams use this template
Weekly biological indicator test of the autoclave: cycle, incubation, result, sign-off by the technical responsible and a record kept for inspection. When this work runs through inboxes and ad-hoc spreadsheets, ownership gets fuzzy and evidence gets lost. Weekly Biological Indicator (autoclave) gives you a 8-step process with 1 checkpoint so nothing slips between handoffs.
Built for teams led by Sterilization Technician and Technical Responsible: every task has a named owner, every approval routes to a real role, and the run history is the audit trail your auditors actually want.
The checkpoint tasks ("Checkpoint 1, Technical responsible confirms the result") cannot be skipped, they're where the run produces evidence the next stage depends on. You start with structure instead of building it from scratch every time.
