Chapter 1 –Performance Specifications
In this chapter you learn
The purpose for which you can employ the device
What benefit you can achieve by using it
The cleaning programs that are available
Proper use
This device is designed for application in a medical context, e.g. clinics and medical and dental practices.
In accordance with DIN EN ISO 15883-1 and -2, this device is a washer-disinfector. You can subject
thermo-stable medical instruments (i.e. instruments which are heat resistant to a temperature of 95 °C) to
automatic cleaning as long as they are suitable for this purpose.
The cleaning is undertaken via the use of water and a chemical cleaning agent.
Subsequent disinfection is performed by thermal disinfection.
This device is not suitable for treatment of:
Thermo-instable instruments, e.g. flexible endoscopes
Wastes for disposal and in the lab area
Dishes
Bedpans
User benefits
Universal use
The device cleans and disinfects. The disinfection phase is conceived so as to reach an A0 value of at
least 3000. This eliminates vegetative bacteria and fungi/fungal spores and disables viruses (inc. HBV,
HCV) thus reaching the effective range AB according to the RKI directive.
Active drying
The device has an active drying facility. This means that after cleaning and disinfection, the instruments
are dried inside (interior lumen) and out via an integrated drying fan. This enables the automatic treatment
of hollow-bodied instruments such as suction cannulas. This protects the instruments from stain accretion
and rusting.
The additionally fitted →HEPA filter guarantees drying with →contamination-free air.
The geometry of some hollow-bodied instruments such as turbines requires additional drying.
Automatic filter recognition
The device recognizes automatically that the fine filter has not been inserted in the base of the washing
chamber before starting. Thus it avoids a situation in which instrument components enter the opening of
the outflow pump or the circulation pump and thus restricting the function of the pumps, rinse arms and the
injector rails.
Internal water softening
The device has an internal softening plant. The water hardness of the local drinking water is set in the
device. The internal water softening unit then automatically adjusts itself to the best solution. This ensures
the optimal rinsing of chlorides.
Monitoring the rotation speed of the rinse arms
The rotation speed of the lower and upper rinse arms is subject to permanent monitoring during a program
run. This ensures that the cleaning process proceeds without hindrance and the rinse arms do not become
blocked e.g. by protruding instruments in the washing chamber.
Monitoring cleaning pressure
The cleaning pressure is monitored during a program run via a pressure sensor. This ensures effective
cleaning. Excess foam generation results in the interruption of the program run.

7
Metering monitoring
The required amounts of cleaning agent and neutralizer are measured out using a hose measuring pump.
A measurement turbine performs flow monitoring. The rinse aid is metered using a hose metering pump
subject to monitoring for rotation speed.
Drawer for process agents
The drawer in the lower area of the device provides storage space for the process agents cleaning agent,
neutralizer and rinse aid.
Automatic conductivity measurement
If the device is provided with DI water in the final rinse, the DI water is subject to automatic, internal
conductivity measurement.
CF card, Ethernet
An integrated CF card slot and Ethernet interface enable secure and easy documentation of the entire
cleaning and disinfection process. This is an important precondition for the clearance process. This
enables the transfer of data from the device to your practice computer.
Display
A program can be started and settings undertaken via the two-line display with four operating keys.
Motorized door lock
The device is equipped with a comfortable locking mechanism which locks the door with an automatic door
lock with a motorized lock.
Emergency release
The door can be opened manually in the case of a loss of power or malfunction using the emergency
release.

Chapter 2 –Device Description
14
Water softening unit
The device requires softened water for proper function.
Tap water over a particular hardness (4°dH) must be softened to prevent lime scale deposits on the
instruments and in the interior of the device. A water softening unit is installed to this end. Its design has
been adapted to match the requirements of the device in terms of water quality and performance.
Commercially available regeneration salt (NaCl) is used in the regeneration of the water softening unit, as
in a dish washer.
NOTE
The fitted water softening unit has been optimized for a degree of hardness of 0–40°dH. For
higher degrees of hardness, you will require a dedicated water softening unit.
WARNING
If the hardness is too high, the salt consumption will be higher. Setting too low a degree of
hardness can result in lime scale deposits on the instruments.
When using a dedicated water softening unit, the residual hardness of the dedicated water
softening unit must also be set in the setup menu.

Chapter 5 –Logging
In this chapter you learn
Why and how you document batches
Which output media you can employ for the batch documentation
Where you can find the logs for the batch documentation
How to read logs correctly
Batch documentation
The batch documentation acts as proof of the successful conclusion of the cleaning and disinfection
process and represents an obligatory part of quality assurance (→MPBetreibV).
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.
For the batch documentation you can transfer the internal log memory readout and the data onto diverse
output media. This can be performed at the end of every program or at a later point, such as at the end of
the day.
Internal log memory
The capacity of the internal log memory is sufficient for approx. 30 logs. If the internal log memory
becomes full and at least one log has not been issued via an activated medium, the following warning will
appear on the display: Internal program log is full. Not all logs issued. The appearance of this warning
represents the last possibility to save the unissued log before the oldest logs are deleted and overwritten.
Select the required output medium in the setup menu and issue the relevant log.
Output media
You are able to issue and archive the logs of the completed programs on the following output media:
MELAflash →CF card
A computer in a user network (LAN).
Log printer MELAprint®42 with network adapter
Any combination of the output media is possible. Thus it is possible both to save logs on the MELAflash
CF card and print them on the log printer.
As delivered, the MELAflash CF card is set as an output medium in the setup menu and thus the
automatic log issue at the end of a program (Immediate issue = YES) is thus activated. Log issue on
multiply activated media is performed successively.
If you wish to retain this state, following commissioning of the device, the relevant log will be issued on the
CF card and saved there as soon as a program ends (immediate issue = YES). To do this, the CF card
must be inserted in the slot of the device (see the next section Using the CF card as an output medium).

Chapter 5 –Logging
32
Using the CF card as an output medium
WARNING
When the CF card is pulled from the card slot prematurely or if it is treated improperly,
data loss, damage to the CF card, the device and/or its software may occur.
Never push the CF card in the slot with force.
Never remove the CF card from the slot whilst it is being written or read. The red →LED next
to the card slot on the right will illuminate red in short irregular intervals during reading and
writing access.
NOTE
The CF card cover cap must remain closed during operation.
Inserting the CF card
The card slot for the →CF card is located behind the cover cap on the right, adjacent to the door below the
main switch.
Proceed as follows in order to insert the CF card in the slot.
1. Open the →CF card cover cap (6) downwards
1. Mains switch
2. Card slot for the CF card

2. With the raised finger edge pointing leftwards, place the CF card in the card slot (2).
3. Push the CF card in the card slot until it clicks. When the CF card has been placed correctly, the
red →LED (4) to the right adjacent to the card slot will illuminate shortly.

33
Removing the CF card
Proceed as follows in order to remove the CF card from the slot.
1. Watch the →LED to the right of the card slot. The red LED illuminates red in irregular intervals
when a log is being saved on the CF card. If this is the case, wait until the →LED has
extinguished.
2. Press the ejection switch (5) underneath the card slot and remove the CF card.
3. Return the cover cap (6) to its starting position.
Computer as output medium
You can connect a computer to the device directly or over a network when the following prerequisites are
met.
The computer has a network cared with a RJ45 socket (LAN).
An FTP server or a FTP service is installed on the computer (when the log is issued via FTP).
A suitable program, e.g. MELAview, is installed (when the log is issued via TCP).
Log printer as issue medium
If you want to use the log printer MELAprint®42 as an output medium, connect it to the device with the
network adapter (not in the scope of delivery of the MELAprint®42 –order no. 40295):
1. Plug (1) in the socket.
2. Connect the MELAG network adapter (3) with the supplied cable (2) to an Ethernet data
connection point of the back of the device (see page 9, Fig. 1).
3. Plug the MELAG network adapter (3) into the serial connection of the log printer MELAprint®42
(can be screwed).
4. Connect the cable (4) of the adapter (3) to the log printer electricity supply jack.
5. Switch on the device at the mains switch.
6. Now switch on the log printer.
7. Switch the device off and on again now.
In doing so, the device sends the IP address saved in the device as a parameter to the network
adapter and saves it.
1. Power supply
2. Connection cable
3. MELAG-Network adapter
4. Adapter cable
NOTE
If the above steps are unsuccessful, the IP addresses saved in the device and those of the
MELAprint®42 probably do not belong to the subnet, since the factory settings were changed.

In the setup menu  02 Automatic logging  , immediate output is set to YES.
In the setup menu  02 Automatic logging  , at least one output medium is selected and 02
Automatic logging is thus set to ACTIVE.
The activated output medium has been connected (e.g. log printer MELAprint®42) or the CF card
has been entered.
When automatic log output is not possible, e.g. because the activated output medium is not connected, the
text log is stored in the internal memory. It is not lost. A warning message appears.
The device registers as yet not issued logs for every output medium. It provides the option of issuing this
log at the next possible opportunity.
It is recommended using automatic logging with an immediate log output.
If you want to issue the associated text logs automatically after the end of a program on the output medium
set on 02 Automatic Logging, must be set to YES.
As delivered, the device is set to automatic log output of the text logs via the CF card, immediately after
the program has ended.
Graphics Logs (optional)
The following additional requirements must be fulfilled in order to record graphic logs:
In the SETUP-MENU  02 Automatic logging  Graphics logs, at least one output medium is set
to YES.
At least one of the output media selected corresponds to an output medium for the text log.
The activated output medium is connected, e.g. computer, or the CF card has been plugged in.
Explanation of the possible settings for graphic log recording:
Graphics & CFC
In the menu Graphic Log Graphic+CFC or Graphic+Comp, select the output media on which the
graphic log is to be saved.
At least on of the two output media must correspond with the medium selected for the output of text logs.
CFC-Interval
CFC interval or PC interval indicates the time intervals in which the program curve is recorded on
the CF card or computer. The smaller the time interval, the more exact the curve. In the example, the time
interval is set at 1 second.
01 Graphic Logs
Graphic+CFC YES
03 Graphic logs
CFC interval 00001

35
PC-backup
PC backup indicates the time interval in which the graphic logs are to be saved on the computer by the
device. In the example, the backup interval is set to 30 seconds.
NOTE
Graphic logs cannot be saved in the internal log memory. If you wish to record optional graphic
logs in addition to the text logs, please always ensure that at least one common output medium
has been set for issuing text and graphic logs. This means that at least the computer or the CF
card should correspond as output medium for both log types.
Output the logs subsequently
The docu menu provides the option of issuing logs subsequently and independently of the point of the
program end. You can use the output media activated for the log automatic in the SETUP MENU 02
Automatic logging or any other output medium.
1. Push or to navigate in the main menu to DOCU-MENU.
2. Push to open the Docu menu.
3. Push repeatedly to select the desired output medium. If you want to assume the settings
from the menu Automatic logging, select the option automatic.
4. Push to get to the option log type.
5. Push to choose between the log types, e.g. last log, log of the day, etc.
6. Push the in order to start the log output.
Delete saved logs
In order e.g. to suppress the warning text Protocol memory full for preset option Immediate
output NO, the saved logs can be manually deleted as follows:
1. Push or to navigate in the main menu to DOCU MENU.
2. Push to open the Docu menu.
3. Push to get to the option log type.
4. Push to navigate to 06 All logs .
5. In order to delete all logs, confirm the query by holding they keys + .
Determining the format for the program log
A log is saved in the internal log memory for every program run. The log format enables you to determine
which of the data saved should be issued. You can choose between the format (0001) and the more
comprehensive format (0002).
The log format (0002) is the standard format. The log format is saved in the program log in the setup menu
(see page Chapter 5 –Logging).

Header
The header comprises lines 15 to 83 and contains
the most important information on the elapsed
program (see Fig. 6). Information on the device, such
as serial number, current software version of the
firmware, parameter and operating interface is
issued as well.
Program steps
During the program, the program steps are recorded
together with the associated values for temperature,
time, consumption of process agents, the cleaning
pressure, the volume of cold water and DI water, the
→conductivity as well as the start and end times.
Upon the incidence of a malfunction, row 92 issues
warnings and error messages.
The end of the log displays the proof of validity and
program-specific values in code.
Key
The key is a component of the log format 0002. It
serves to mark the program steps to which the
values given relate.
In digitally outputted logs (→CF card, PC) the key is
located directly next to the values of the respective
program step.
In logs issued via the log printer MELAprint®42, the
row containing the key is always located under the
row to which it refers.
