## Part 1: The Fix Button

## 

This action can be used by Sonar authority levels of supervisor, manager, and admin. Its function is to edit any of the following details of an active or released sterilizer load: date/time, sterilizer, parameter, and/or load number. Please note that changing a load detail via this button has no effect on any load other than the load you are changing.

1. In the Sterilize Module, click on **Fix**.

2. To help find the desired load(s) you would like to edit, you may enter a specific date, method, and/or sterilizer and click on **Filter**.

AccessibilityThe ability to change a load status backward in the process (Verifying->Building or Released->Verifying/Building) can only be done by Sonar user level supervisor, manager, or admin.  
The ability to delete a sterilizer load is a user preference set up by your manager in Facility->User->Prefs

1. Find the load you would like to edit and double click into it.

2. You may need to change your load status based on whatever it is you would like to edit. If you want to edit the contents of a load (trays, quantities, BI presence), you need to be in to status **Building.** If you want to edit BI results or sterilization details, you need to be in status **Verifying.**

3. To reprint a sterilization report or status change summary, click on **Actions,** then the corresponding action.![](https://cdn.document360.io/d4eaa857-4dff-4f42-8629-f1dad8766afe/Images/Documentation/Screen%20Shot%202021-05-03%20at%209.47.38%20AM.png)
