Notes
This example shows a mix of outcomes. The hallway and kitchen passed with routine cleaning. The master bedroom failed due to a flat battery, which is a common issue. The lounge room unit failed completely because it had exceeded its 10 year lifespan. This necessitated a full unit replacement rather than just a battery change. The log clearly records the model number of the new unit for future reference.
