While using an autoclave the medical assistant must monitor?

While using an autoclave, the medical assistant must monitor the temperature, pressure, and time to ensure effective sterilization of instruments. It's also important to check that the autoclave's indicators, such as chemical or biological indicators, confirm that the sterilization conditions have been met. Regular maintenance and validation of the autoclave should be performed to ensure its proper functioning. Finally, the assistant should ensure that items are properly packaged and loaded to allow for adequate steam circulation.
