A method includes steps for capturing and documenting a work cycle of a sterilizable medical product which is preferably held in a holding apparatus and which communicates, preferably wirelessly, with an external data-processing device, which is preferably disposed in the holding and/or storing apparatus. First, a process step or the performance of a process step of the work cycle is captured in accordance with an output signal of at least one sensor preferably disposed in the holding and/or storing apparatus. The output signal is processed further by the data-processing device to form cycle information. The cycle information is stored in a data chain/data sequence saved in a data memory of the medical product. The cycle information is stored by exactly one bit in the data chain.
