The Authors describe the results of a surveillance program on the efficacy of autoclaves used in the surgical wards of a large hospital in Rome. Data show that only 2.8% of the tests performed with UNI methodology was unfavourable, while the percentage rise to 12.5% for autoclaves following the "flash cicle". In conclusion, the Authors suggest to expand the routine surveillance to all autoclaves of the hospital and to use the "flash cicle" only for the emergency.
