How it works

Sterilization records should be simple.

spore turns your sterilization records into one simple workflow.

Pack. Sterilize. Release. Scan. Done.

  1. 1

    Pack

    Select your instruments and print a coded label for each package.

  2. 2

    Sterilize

    Connect each package to its sterilization cycle and monitoring results.

  3. 3

    Release

    Record who released the load and when.

  4. 4

    Scan

    Scan the package when it is opened chairside, recording which operatory and when it was used.

  5. 5

    Trace

    Every step stays connected in one searchable record.

Building a new load in spore: the monitoring tests and instrument packages going in, ready to print their labels.

Cycle monitoring

The cycle record, connected.

spore works with any autoclave, any brand, keeping each load connected to its cycle, packages, monitoring results and the team members responsible.

For supported W&H Lexa configurations, spore also brings the machine's cycle report into the load record, including temperature, pressure and exposure time.

A cycle in spore's history opened to the sterilizer's own reading: peak 272°F, 28.7 psi, 4 minute exposure, cycle completed.

Biological monitoring

Biological monitoring, documented.

Record each biological indicator from incubation to result, including lot number, incubation start time, incubation end time, control result, test result and who read it.

Everything stays connected to the sterilizer and cycle it belongs to.

Chairside traceability

Trace every package to the operatory.

spore records the operatory and exact time each package is used, making it easy to trace back to the corresponding patient when needed.

No patient information is stored in spore.

Packages from one load in spore, each showing the operatory and the time it was opened.

Failure management

A clear record when a biological test fails.

When a biological test fails, spore lists the packages from the affected loads. Record the actions your team takes and keep a clear history through to resolution.

A resolved incident in spore: the sterilizer taken out of service, a repeat biological and service call booked, and the incident closed, each with who recorded it and when.

Bring together your loads, monitoring results, packages, staff records and incident history in a clear report for your selected dates. Available sterilizer readings are included.

Everything organized into one easy-to-review record.
