Infection control compliance is non-negotiable in dentistry — but paper sterilisation logs are notoriously incomplete. Clinit's digital log removes the friction and creates an audit-ready record.
Why Sterilisation Documentation Fails
Every dental clinic knows the requirement: log every autoclave cycle, record the load contents, document the cycle parameters, and keep records for a minimum of 5 years. In practice, paper logs are filled in retrospectively, entries are missed during busy sessions, and audit preparation means pulling boxes of binders.
What Clinit's Sterilisation Log Captures
Each sterilisation cycle entry records:
- Date and time of cycle start and end
- Autoclave ID (for multi-unit clinics)
- Cycle type — Class B (vacuum), Class S (steam), or Class N
- Load contents — instruments listed by type and quantity
- Cycle parameters — temperature, pressure, duration
- Result — Pass / Fail / Interrupted, with indicator result
- Operator — staff member who ran the cycle, auto-populated from login
Biological Indicator Tracking
Weekly spore tests (Geobacillus stearothermophilus) are logged separately with the incubation result and the reference lab or in-house reader result. Overdue spore tests trigger a red badge on the sterilisation module header — visible to all staff until resolved.
Instrument Tracking
High-value instrument sets (surgical kit, implant kit, ortho bonding kit) are tracked by set number. Each set has a full sterilisation history — when it was last cycled, by whom, and on which autoclave. This is the foundation of traceability if a patient exposure event ever requires investigation.
Audit Export
The entire sterilisation log exports as a PDF or CSV with a single click — formatted for Egyptian MOH or GAHAR inspection requirements. No more assembling binders the night before an audit.
