CompliancePass/Fail Inspection

Inspector Primitive -- Pass/Fail Inspection

How to record pass/fail inspection results for compliance tasks like spore tests and equipment inspections.

Overview

The Inspector primitive is used for compliance tasks that require a binary pass or fail result. It is the standard completion type for inspections, tests, and quality checks where the outcome is either acceptable or not.

How It Works

When you open a task that uses the Inspector primitive, the completion form displays:

Result Selection

Two large buttons labeled Pass and Fail:

  • Pass -- Highlighted in green when selected. Indicates the inspection or test met the required standard.
  • Fail -- Highlighted in red when selected. Triggers a variance prompt requiring a remediation note.

You must select one before you can submit.

Lot Number (Pass Only)

When Pass is selected, an optional Lot Number field appears. This allows you to record the lot or batch number of the test indicator used (e.g., "LOT-2026-001"). This is useful for traceability in sterilization monitoring.

Remediation Note (Fail Only)

When Fail is selected, a variance prompt appears with a required Remediation Note field. You must describe the corrective action taken or planned before the task can be submitted. The prompt shows a reason such as "Inspection failed" along with guidance text.

The task cannot be saved with a "Fail" result until the remediation note is filled in.

Submission

The footer button reads Save Result. After submission:

  • A Pass result sets the task status to Completed
  • A Fail result sets the task status to Completed with Failure, which triggers the failure protocol and is tracked as a compliance variance

Evidence Fields

In addition to the pass/fail result, the task may require supporting evidence depending on its configuration:

  • Notes -- Additional context about the inspection
  • Photo -- A photo of the test result, equipment condition, or other visual evidence
  • Documents -- Supporting documents such as test strip printouts
