Microbiology Autoclave, Waste and Disposal Management Policy

13 pages. Defines six waste streams with what belongs in each and what must never enter, cycle parameters for five load types, and monitoring in three independent levels with biological indicators placed inside the load rather than beside it. Covers cycle failure and load quarantine, thermometric qualification on real loads, materials that are never autoclaved, and a named handover point at which responsibility passes to the institutional disposal route
