INNOVATION AND QUALITY – the philosophy of a family-run business

More Time For Patients

Only practices which relieve their medical assistance staff from unnecessary tasks can save personnel costs. The goal is to avoid unnecessary waiting or work time in the preparation and sterilization pro- cess, so that there’s more time for the patients. In developing the Pro Class, our engineers therefore paid special attention to short operating times and simple operation of the autoclaves.

After activating the mains switch, all programs can be selected with the program key. The desired pro- gram is then started by pressing the Start/Stop key. The entire sterilization procedure, including drying, then proceeds fully automatically.

Easily adjustable special functions

Special options such as switching over to an external feed water supply via a water treatment system connected to the autoclave, or the automatic prewarming of the vessel, as well as a good deal more can be easily self-adjusted by the autoclave operator.

It is just as simple to select an output medium for the documentation, e.g. printer, MELAflash CF-Card Printer or practice computer system. That also saves time in operating the autoclave.

Quick sterilization programs

The Pro Class autoclaves are not high-speed devices such as the autoclaves of the MELAG Premium Class. But nevertheless as a rule they are considerably faster than other devices on the market. In the quick program, unwrapped instruments such as dental handpieces and contra angles can already be removed after only 15 minutes, including fractionated pre-vacuum and vacuum- quick drying. Depending on the total load of the autoclave, wrapped instruments are again available for use after 26 to 50 minutes.

Automate

The practice-friendly system: Automatic feed water supply with MELAdem® 40/MELAdem® 47.

All Vacuklav autoclaves can be automated by connecting the feed water supply with demineralized water to a water treatment unit. The used water is also disposed of automatically if the autoclave is connected to a drain. The measuring of the water quality integrated in the autoclave ensures that only water of the best quality for sterilization is fed into the system, thus protecting the autoclave and the valuable instruments.

We recommend

• MELAdem®40: for small water requirements or only a few sterilizations per day. This water treatment system works on the ion exchange principle. The dual-chamber system of MELAdem® 40 guarantees an optimal utilization of the mixed-bed-resin pellets. The MELAdem® 40 can be mounted directly on the autoclave, on the wall or in a sub cabinet.
• MELAdem®47: for greater water requirements. This water treatment system works on the particularly environmentally friendly principle of reverse osmosis. It is especially well suited for practices which conduct more than four sterilization runs per day. The minimum use of consumables with a maximum yield of high-quality water relieves the environment and saves costs. The scope of delivery includes the water storage tank and a separate tap for demineralized water.

The optimum use of the sterilization compartment

The autoclaves are always with a mounting for trays or cassettes, included in the price. The delivery contains Mount> A <(for 5 trays or 3 standard tray cassettes) by default. Please indicate in your order if you would alternatively at no extra charge prefer Mount >B< for 4 standard tray cassettes or Mount >D< for two high cassettes e.g. implant cassettes or container systems.

Documentation And Batch Control

The documentation with the Pro Class autoclaves as a proof for an effective and safe sterilization can be very easily and comfortably be done by the operator. This approach secures evidence in case of presumed infection in the dental and medical practice. In the context of public health department checks or medical practice inspections, proper documentation and batch control are also considered important criteria for the “release” of instruments by the medical assistant after sterilization.

Why  a “class B” autoclave?

The European workgroup appointed by the EU Commission has passed the European | Standard EN 13060 in the course of the harmonization of different national sterilization standards. The standard divides autoclaves into the classes “B”, “S” and “N”. “Class B” is the highest class conforming to the most stringent demands and therefore can be unrestrictedly used for the sterilization of all possible loads used in medical practices (also with hollow bodied instruments, handpieces and turbines) and for all kinds of sterilization packaging. A” class B” autoclave must = in any case pass a Helix test with a test specimen as per EN 13060:2001. According to expert opinion, that can only be achieved with a fractionated pre-vacuum procedure. The autoclaves of the profi class conform to “class B” requirements and are therefore absolutely future-safe.

Programs And Timers

All autoclaves of the Pro Class offer five sterilization programs and two test programs. The test programs can check and document the function of the autoclave in the dental and medical practice at any time. After selecting and starting the desired program, the modern microprocessor controls and monitors the entire process automatically.
