Troubleshoot issue below On-site:
Autoclave is not getting to temp. This is not every run but it frequently is not getting to temp which means our instruments are not getting sterilized. We end up having to re-wrap packs and put them back through the autoclave. After speaking with Thomas he felt it might be a heating coil but recommended I reach out to you for a solve
