Abstract: A method for automatic and sterile-container-specific detection of sterilization cycles carried out by a sterile container, and a system for carrying out the method. A temperature acting on the sterile container is detected using a temperature measurement device associated with the sterile container. A temperature measurement device detects the temperature at fixed first time intervals.

Storage of detected temperature values is suspended once a predetermined second limit temperature has been undershot or after a predetermined duration has elapsed after the first limit temperature has been exceeded. The stored temperature values are compared with reference temperature values. A deviation between the temperature values and the reference temperature values is determined. A counter and/or a display device are/is actuated when a deviation is determined within a predetermined tolerance range.
