SUMMARY This paper describes the conversion of an autoclave, previously controlled by a bottle simulator and monitored using MTRs, to one controlled by a bottle probe and monitored using F o values. Temperatures were recorded with a portable data logger and a micro‐computer was used to calculate F o values and produce batch reports.
