Sample input

Office policy: Every package must have a readable set identifier and load number that matches the processing log. Packaging must be sealed, dry, and undamaged. Required indicators must show acceptable results under office policy. Questionable items go to the marked hold bin and are reviewed by the infection-control coordinator.
Set: Crown setup CS-184.
Processing record: Load L0923-2, cycle complete, operator MK, release initials present.
Label: CS-184 is readable, but the handwritten load number could be L0923-2 or L0923-7.
Package: Intact and dry.
Indicators: External result appears acceptable; internal indicator isn't visible without opening the package.
Storage: Closed clean cabinet, no known handling event.
Concern: The load number isn't clearly readable.
Escalation contact: Infection-control coordinator.
