OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A sanitation management system comprising:
a computer capable of maintaining records of exemplary locations on an item to be sanitized and records of where a pathogen surrogate was applied prior to a sanitation process, the pathogen surrogate comprising a carrier that mimics biological behavior of pathogens that create biofilms;
an augmented reality display that can display marks corresponding to the exemplary locations undergoing sanitation;
an interface to gather information about how the pathogen surrogate was applied to the exemplary locations; and
an inspection interface to provide, via the augmented reality display, sampling locations at which to check for presence of the pathogen surrogate at some or all of the exemplary locations.
