Batch documentation
The batch documentation acts as proof of the successful conclusion of the sterilization process and
represents an obligatory part of quality control. The data, such as type of program as well as batch and
process parameters of the completed programs, are stored in an internal log memory of the device.
To obtain the batch documentation, you can read out the internal log memory and transfer its data to
various output media. This can be performed immediately 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 steam sterilizer is equipped with an internal log memory. This saves all the data regarding the
sterilization program automatically. The capacity of the internal log memory is sufficient for c. 100 logs. If
the internal log memory becomes almost full and at least one log has not been outputted via an activated
output medium, the following warning "Internal log memory is almost full" will appear on the display. If this
warning appears, working in theSettings menu →Logging provide the pre-determined output media
and output the logs affected (→Log output menu).
Shortly afterwards, the following message is displayed:Internal log memory full. You now have the last
chance to archive logs which have not been outputted (confirm query with YES) before the data in the
steam sterilizer log memory (up to the last 40 logs) is automatically deleted.
Output media
You are able to output and archive the logs of the completed programs on the following output media:
▪ MELAflash CF card
▪ Label print-out with the MELAprint 60 label printer
▪ MELAprint 42/44 log printer with network adapter
▪ A computer (via the practice network)
Any combination of the output media is possible. Log output on multiply activated media is performed
successively. In its delivery state, the MELAflash CF card is activated as the output medium for text and
graphic logs from the steam sterilizer. Automatic logging (= Immediate output) is thus activated.
Detailed information regarding the activation and setting of log output is to be found in the chapter settings,
logging [}page 43].
Using the CF card as an output medium
NOTICE
Premature removal of the CF card from the card slot or its inappropriate handling can
result in data loss, damage to the CF card, the device and/or its software.
n Never push the CF card in the slot with force.
n Never remove the CF card from the slot whilst it is being written or read. The square in the
upper right-hand corner of the display lights up during reading and writing access.
The card slot for the CF card is located on the right-hand side of the display housing.
