Follow the manufacturers instructions. Your IC lead or registered manger will know where they are.
.... if no-one knows where these are then google them for your make/model of autoclave, if no luck email the manufacturer to request them.
If you are not 100% confident you are doing these correctly then allocate yourself time in the diary for the next time the engineer is doing the six-month or annual check. (Sticker on the side of the autoclàve is a good clue to as to when they will be scheduled).
Email the company ahead of time requesting training in performing the daily/weekly checks. (Eschmann gave me a 1 hour CPD certificate for this).
If your dentist is whining that you stole an hour of their patients treatment time invite them to attend the training as well - if the regular staff get sick all at the same time they will need to do this themselves because a temp nurse will not know how. We be all need to be super confident in this area (dentists, hygienists, nurses).
Bulky proof storage: personally I prefer photographing strips and ultrasonic bath foil test results and storing them on desktop.
