Batch documentation
The batch documentation is indispensable as documentation for the
successfully completed sterilization process and as an obligatory measure
of quality assurance
(→Medical Devices Operator Ordinance).
The data, such as e.g. type of program as well as
→batch and process
parameters of the completed programs, is stored in an internal log memory
of the
steam sterilizer.
For the batch documentation you can transfer the internal log memory
readout and the data onto diverse output media. This can be performed at
the end of every program or at a later point, such as at the end of the day.
Capacity of the internal
log memory
The capacity of the internal storage suffices for about 40 logs.
If the internal log memory is full, when starting the next program the
respectively oldest log is automatically overwritten.
If a printer is connected and option
Immed. output "NO" is adjusted
(see page
38, Automatic immediate log output as well), a confirmation
prompt is issued prior to overwriting the saved record.
Output media
You can store the logs of the completed programs on the following output
media and
archive them accordingly.
 Log printer MELAprint 42/44

MELAflash CF card printer on CF card

Computer with the software MELAview/MELAtrace
(from software version 3)

MELAnet Box
PLEASE NOTE
For further information of the protocoll printer (for
example for the duration
of for he log prinouts) please refer to the respective operating instructions.
State of delivery
No option for the output of the logs is set in the initial delivery state of the
steam sterilizer
. You can read below how to output the logs on the cited
media.
