The Cliniclave series

Four models for the greatest-possible flexibility

Our experience from developing and manufacturing steam sterilizers since decades, paired with the innovation power of our 165 specialist engineers has resulted in an especially innovative and energy-efficient series of steam sterilizer: the Cliniclave series. In addition to the typical MELAG features of record operating times, an intuitive operating concept and integrated documentation and approval, the four steam sterilizers of this new range present a series of further unique innovations which only we as the specialists for instrument decontamination could deliver to our customers. The focus of the new Cliniclave series lies on the combination of even shorter operating times and even faster instrument availability, whilst achieving considerable levels of energy efficiency. The Cliniclave series consists of large steam sterilizers with a capacity of one or two sterilization units (StU), available as single-door or double-door (pass-through) models.

The three most important advantages of the Cliniclave  series at a glance

1. Save time

Sterilizing large quantities in short operating times.

The sterilization of large instrument quantities and textiles and their quick availability is one of the most important requirements in clinics, practices and outpatient centres. With a load quantity of up to 70 kg of wrapped instruments or 14 kg of textiles, the steam sterilizers of the Cliniclave series provide far greater performance than almost all other large steam sterilizers. Used in connection with specially-designed mounts, the cylindrical sterilization chamber provides the best solution for all departments.

2. Work ergonomically

With a loading system for secure and ergonomic loading and unloading.

The loading system of the Cliniclave series enables the loading and unloading of a wide range of loading configurations without much effort.
The lower level of the loading trolley provides sufficient space to load the Cliniclave series steam sterilizers with further sterilization containers or other load elements. The loading system includes a loading trolley and a batch slider with Teflon runners. The sterilization containers or the tray mount are placed on the batch slider and moved securely with the loading hook.

3. Document securely

With an integrated software for the approval and traceability of instruments.

The XXL colour touch-display enables an intuitive operation and helps the operator to avoid errors and to find all the important information quickly. The documentation and approval software integrated in all devices of the Cliniclave series permits complete reproducibility and total security.

An individual PIN can be issued to every user to enable secure traceability in the approval procedure. Authentication of the batch approval can be performed quickly and securely on the display.

The Cliniclave series provides a variety of documentation methods: network connection via Ethernet; the printout of barcode labels for marking wrapped instruments; and log output to a CF card.

Further device functions making your day that little bit easier

It is often the small things that make our working lives more pleasant. A range of features in the Cliniclave series help to make your working procedures more simple and secure. These functions are integrated in all of the models of the Cliniclave series and can be activated directly via the XXL colour touch-display.

DRYtelligence®

The patented procedure of the sensor- controlled and load-specific vacuum drying procedure saves time, cooling water and energy and guarantees optimal drying results

Energy-saving mode

If the Cliniclave is not to be switched off during longer operating pauses, the energy-saving mode can be set. This shortens the pre-heating time before the next start

Automatic shutdown

Activating this function before starting the last batch of the day means that the Cliniclave switches-off automatically immediately after the end of the program. Batch clearance can then be performed the next day, immediately after activating the device

Start time pre-selection

The start-time pre-selection function enables the user to select any program and then start it at a specific time, e.g. in order to perform a routine test program

Innovative and convincing technology

The innovative functions and durable components of the high-end Cliniclave series produce consistently convincing results. The unique device concept satisfies the highest requirements. In addition to the central device components shown below, the steam sterilizers of the Cliniclave series contain a range of further highlights, including the unique concept of multipoint steam intake and discharge technology for record operating times and excellent drying results.

1. XXL colour touch-display

3. Electrical door lock for security and ease of use

5. High-performance vacuum pump for the best process results

7. Reverse osmosis unit for independent and automatic aqua dem subsequent feeding

2. Microprocessor control and monitoring electronics for secure and valid processes

4. Air gap in accordance with DIN EN 1717 for protection of the drinking water

6. Double jacket technology for the highest-quality saturated steam

Even more space in the Magnum steam sterilizers of the Cliniclave series

The Cliniclave 45 M and Cliniclave 45 MD accommodate 2 sterilization units and can sterilize up to 70 kg of instruments in record time. Four example loads:

Cliniclave 45 M with 2 sterilization containers 30 x 30 x 60 cm

Cliniclave 45 M with 3 sterilization containers 30 x 15 x 60 cm and 2 trays 30 x 5 x 59 cm

Cliniclave 45 M with 8 trays 30 x 5 x 59 cm

Cliniclave 45 M with 4 instrument baskets

The Cliniclave series provides the suitable model for every requirement

The compact dimensions of the four large steam sterilizers of the Cliniclave series are ideally-suited to the needs of clinics, practices and outpatient centres. The position of the door hinge (left or right-hand side) can be chosen for each Cliniclave model - including the doors of the pass-through steam sterilizers.

Faster instrument decontamination and lower energy consumption

Fast operating times and secure sterilization are amongst the most important requirements of a large steam sterilizer. The devices of the Cliniclave series always fulfil these requirements. The large load quantities and the low water and energy consumption make the steam sterilizers of the Cliniclave series the most efficient and compact large steam sterilizers of their class
