Chapter 8 – Function test
In this chapter you learn
How the steam sterilizer automatically carries out the function test
Which possibilities you have for the manual function test
Which function tests should be conducted in daily operation
How to display the water quality
Process evaluation and
monitoring systems
The interaction of the sterilization-relevant parameters of pressure,
temperature and time are continually automatically monitored by the
electronic parameter control.
→process evaluation system of the steam sterilizer compares the
process parameters with each other during the program and monitors
them with respect to their limit values.
The monitoring system of the
steam sterilizer checks the device
components with regard to their functional reliability and their plausible
interaction. If the parameters exceed defined limit values, the
outputs warning messages or malfunction messages. If
necessary, it interrupts the
program with a corresponding message.
When the program has ended successfully, the corresponding message
will be issued on the
You can track the program sequence based on the values shown on the

display. Furthermore on the basis of logs made for every program, you
can logically reconstruct whether a program was successful (see page
Checks in daily operation
We recommend testing functional reliability of the steam sterilizer using a
Helix test body system at least once a month.
For this purpose, specialist dealers offer specific dental test body systems
as indicator and batch monitoring systems, e.g. Dental BMS (batch
monitoring system) by GKE.
This consists of a test body, t
he Helix, and an
indicator strip,
and is used with the MELAquick 12+/MELAquick 12+ p in
Prior to program start the
door gasket should be cleaned.
