Is there an automatic alert for instrument set and sterilizer incompatibility?

Yes, if an item requiring low temperature sterilization is scanned into a steam load, SPM® alerts the technician so that the item can be removed from the load before it is damaged. The same alert will display if an item that should be steam sterilized is scanned into a low temperature sterilizer. Of course, if an item can be sterilized in either steam or low temperature sterilizers, then no alert will be displayed for the item regardless of the sterilizer it is scanned into.
