A sterilization log records every autoclave load and biological (spore) test — the reprocessing evidence an RCDSO IPAC assessor expects to see. Generate a free printable sterilization & spore-test log sheet in 30 seconds: add your practice name and sterilizer, then print it or save as a PDF.

RCDSO expects instrument reprocessing to be documented, not just performed. Here is what a good record proves.
Logging each cycle — date, load number, sterilizer, and the chemical indicator result — shows reprocessing follows a consistent, verifiable routine.
Biological indicator testing verifies the sterilizer actually kills spores. Record each spore-test result and keep the reports — this is a frequent assessment focus.
Instrument reprocessing is the practice's responsibility and stays in-house. A clear log is how you demonstrate it was done right if a question ever arises.
File completed sheets alongside your environmental cleaning log and spore-test reports so everything is in one place on assessment day.
Reprocessing stays with your clinical team — but the environmental side (operatory surfaces, sterilization-area housekeeping, common areas) needs documented cleaning too. Our dental office cleaning service follows an RCDSO IPAC-aligned routine and leaves a signed cleaning log after every visit.

For each cycle: the date, load or cycle number, which sterilizer was used, the chemical indicator result, and the operator. On the schedule you use for biological (spore) testing, record the spore-test result too. This generator includes all of those columns so it works as both a routine load log and a spore-test record.
RCDSO requires biological (spore) indicator testing of sterilizers — many Ontario practices run it at least weekly, and some run it with every implant load, per current standards and manufacturer instructions. Confirm the exact frequency against the current RCDSO Standard of Practice; this template lets you log whatever schedule you follow and keep the results on file.
No — they are separate records. This sterilization log covers instrument reprocessing (loads and spore tests). Environmental cleaning of operatory surfaces, the sterilization area and common spaces is logged separately — use our dental cleaning log for that. RCDSO IPAC assessments look at both, so keep them side by side.
No. Instrument reprocessing and sterilization are the responsibility of the dental practice's clinical team and stay in-house. Zusashi provides the environmental cleaning side — operatory surfaces, sterilization-area housekeeping, washrooms and common areas — with a signed cleaning log after every visit. This sterilization log is a free record-keeping aid for your clinical team.
