A log for every autoclave cycle: what was in the load, the temperature, pressure, and time reached, whether the chemical indicators changed, and the result of each biological indicator test. If a pack is ever questioned, the cycle can be traced.

Using it well
Write the cycle number on each pack label. It is the link between a pack on the shelf and this log.
Many practices run a biological indicator weekly and with every load containing implants. Follow your manufacturer’s instructions.
If an indicator fails, pull the packs from that cycle, reprocess them, and record what you did.
Printing, editing, and what the form does and doesn’t cover.
Chemical indicators change color when exposed to certain conditions, such as temperature and steam, and are used on or in every pack. Biological indicators contain bacterial spores and show whether conditions were enough to kill them; they are the most direct test that sterilization worked.
Commonly at least weekly, and with any load containing implants, but follow your sterilizer manufacturer’s instructions and any state or accreditation requirements.
Steam sterilizers commonly run at about 121 °C (250 °F) or 132 to 134 °C (270 to 273 °F), with exposure times that depend on the cycle and load. Use the settings in your manufacturer’s manual.
Do not use the load. Reprocess it, check the loading and the machine, and if a biological indicator failed, consider whether earlier loads need to be recalled. Record each step.

One place to track the clinic’s equipment: what you have, its serial number, how often it needs servicing, and a history of every service, calibration, and repair. Useful for budgeting, warranty claims, and inspections.

A month-at-a-glance log for the vaccine fridge. Morning and afternoon readings with the minimum and maximum since the last check, the safe range printed at the top, and a section for what was done when a reading fell outside it.

The operative record for the chart: who did what, what was found, how it was closed, and what happens next. It is laid out in the order a surgery is actually written up, with real room for findings and technique, so the report gets finished before the next case starts.
A starting point, not legal or clinical advice. VetStack’s forms are general templates. Requirements for medical records, consent, and controlled substances vary by state and practice, so review the wording with your practice’s attorney and check your state veterinary board’s rules before adopting a form as standard.
