Intended use
The steam sterilizer is designed for use in a general medical environment in which the instruments used and their pack-
aging do not require a type B steam sterilizer with cycles.
According to }EN 13060, this steam sterilizer is a type S cycle sterilizer. As a universal steam sterilizer, it is suitable for
sterilization of unwrapped/single-wrapped solid instruments, simple hollow items and dental transmission instruments

WARNING
Any attempt to sterilize liquids can result in a
}
delay in boiling. This can result in burns and damage to
the device.
n Never use this device to sterilize fluids. It is not licensed for the sterilization of fluids.
NOTICE
Failure to comply with these safety instructions can result in damage or can compromise safety.
n Only ever use the steam sterilizer for the applications as foreseen in the technical documentation and only
in connection with the devices and components as recommended by MELAG.
n Like the preceding instrument reprocessing, the sterilization of instruments with this steam sterilizer (in
Germany according to §2 }MPBetreibV) may only be carried out by }competent personnel.
n Only use instruments and packaging which are suitable for steam sterilization according to the
manufacturer's information.
Sterilization procedure
The steam sterilizer sterilizes on the basis of the fractionated flow procedure.
This guarantees the complete and effective wetting/penetration of the }load with saturated steam.
The procedure can be used to safely and quickly sterilize single wrapped instruments.
The steam sterilizer uses integrated steam generation to generate sterilizing steam. The sterilization chamber is protect-
ed from overheating and you can sterilize instruments in a short time.
Automatic preheating
If preheating is activated, the cold chamber is heated up to the preheating temperature of the particular program before
program start, or this temperature is held between two program runs. This reduces program times and the accretion of
condensation, thus improving drying results.
Drying
The load is dried with the pulsating overpressure drying method. This way you achieve optimal drying results for wrapped
instruments as well.
Type of the feed water supply
The steam sterilzer works with a feed water one-way system. This means that it uses fresh }feed water (}demineralized
or }distilled water) for every sterilization procedure. The quality of the feed water is subject to permanent monitoring via
integrated }conductivity measurement. If combined with a proper preparation of the instruments, this serves largely to
prevent stain accretion on the instruments and soiling of the steam sterilizer.
