Chapter 2 – First steps
Preconditions for commissioning
All preconditions for commissioning are listed in the Technical manual under "Setup and Installation".
Record of installation and set-up
The record of installation and set-up is to be completed by the responsible person and a copy be sent to
both MELAG and the stockist as proof of correct set-up, installation and commissioning. This is a
constituent part of any guarantee claim.
Providing feed water
Always use high-quality feed water
Steam sterilization requires distilled or demineralized/de-ionized water. DIN EN 285:2009 recommends
observance of the guide values in accordance with Appendix B, table B.1 when using feed water (see
Technical Manual).
The special construction of the steam generator and the procedure employed to generate the steam
(integrated gas venting) makes higher conductivity values permissible. As a result, the value of 5 µS/cm
recommenced in accordance with DIN EN 285:2009 in table 1 can be exceeded.
At 15 µS/cm, the water treatment unit mixed-bed resin cartridge should be replaced.
Once conductivity has reached 20 µS/cm the display issues a warning message. At this point at the latest,
the mixed-bed resin cartridge should be replaced/the unit should be checked.
Feed water generated in the osmosis procedure using the MELAdem 56/56 M complies
with the requirements placed on feed water.
Feed water supply of the steam sterilizer
Feed water supply is best performed via the water treatment units MELAdem 56 or MELAdem 56 M.
These water treatment units produce optimal feed water for the steam sterilizer.
The vacuum pump and the water treatment units are supplied via the type AB free discharge installed in
the autoclave.
This prevents the water from flowing back into the drinking water supply and corresponds to the full
requirements of DIN EN 1717 (fluid category 5).
Should you wish to use a water treatment unit from another manufacturer, please first
consult with MELAG and observe the installation hints.
Tap water supply
The autoclave vacuum pump and the water treatment unit require tap water for operation.
The vacuum pump and the water treatment unit are supplied via the type AB free discharge installed in the
autoclave. This prevention of water flowing back into the drinking water supply complies with the full
requirements of DIN EN 1717 (fluid category 5).
The used water is disposed via an on-site effluent system.
The intelligent water management system inbuilt in the autoclave control reduces water consumption to a
minimum.

Chapter 2 – First steps
15
Switch on the autoclave
The autoclave is switched-on via the power switch on the right-hand side of the autoclave.
Opening and closing the door
PLEASE NOTE
Entry on the display is only possible when the door is closed.
The autoclave is fitted with a motor-driven automatic door locking mechanism with a thread spindle.
Press the door symbol in the action bar to open the door.
The door is to be left open only whilst loading and unloading the autoclave. Keeping the
door closed saves energy.
If the door is open, the following message will be displayed:

Chapter 2 – First steps
16
To close the door, press it firmly inwards until the automatic door lock engages.
After the door has been closed, the display returns to the program menu.
The door is locked pressure-tight upon program start.
Please observe the following when closing the autoclave door:
Do not exert too little pressure when pushing the door closed.
Hold the door closed for at least three seconds.
Never slam the door.
If your autoclave has a floor unit, ensue that the breaks on the casters are engaged.
DANGER OF CRUSHING
Grasping the door between the inside of the door panel and the door beam brings the risk
of crushed hands should the door swing round.
Always hold the door on the lateral grips intended for this purpose.

Chapter 3 – Loading the steam sterilizer
17
Chapter 3 – Loading the steam sterilizer
Preparing the sterilization material
The most important precondition for the safe disinfection and sterilization of sterilization material is the
correct cleaning and care of the sterilization material in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
The choice of materials, cleaning fluid and treatment procedures used are also of great significance.
PLEASE NOTE
Wherever possible, please ensure the separate sterilization of textiles and instruments in
separate sterilization containers or sterilization packaging. This leads to better drying results.
Treating textiles
Please observe the following points when treating textiles and putting the textiles in sterilization containers:
Observe both the textile manufacturer’s instructions regarding treatment and sterilization as well as
the relevant standards and directives.
Arrange the folds in the textiles parallel to each other.
Stack textiles vertically wherever possible and not too closely together in the sterilization chamber.
This enables the development of flow channels.
Retain the vertical stacking system when packing textiles in the sterilization container.
If textile packages do not remain together, wrap the textiles in sterilization paper.
Only ever sterilize dry textiles.
The textiles must not be permitted to come into direct contact with the sterilization chamber; otherwise
they will become saturated with condensate.
DANGER OF INFECTION!
Steam penetration of the textile package can be restricted and/or will produce poor drying results.
The textiles could not be sterilized.
This could endanger the health of patient and practice team.
Comply with the treatment instructions contained in these instructions.
Treating instruments
Please ensure the following when treating used and brand-new instruments:
Follow both the instrument manufacturer’s instructions regarding treatment and sterilization and
comply with the relevant standards and directives.
Clean the instruments thoroughly e.g. using a Washer-disinfector.
Rinse the instruments after washing and disinfecting, where possible with de-mineralized or distilled
water and then dry the instruments thoroughly with a clean, non-fuzzing cloth.
Use only those care products suitable for steam sterilization. Consult the manufacturer of the care
agents.

Chapter 3 – Loading the steam sterilizer
18
DANGER!
The incorrect treatment of instruments could result in any dirt residue being loosened by the
steam pressure during sterilization. The presence of residual disinfection and cleaning fluids
results in corrosion.
The use of unsuitable care agents e.g. water repellent agents or oils impermeable to steam
could result in unsterile instruments. This represents a danger to the health of both
patients and yourself.
This could result in increased maintenance requirements and a restriction of the autoclave
function.
Comply with the treatment instructions contained in these instructions.
When using ultra-sound devices, care equipment for hand pieces and washing and disinfection devices,
please observe the manufacturer’s treatment instructions.
Loading the autoclave
Only when correctly loaded is effective sterilization and good drying possible.
Ensure the following during loading:
Insert trays or cassettes in the chamber only with their appropriate mount.
Use perforated trays such as those from MELAG. Only in this way can the condensate drain off. The
use of a non-perforated base or half-shell to accept the sterilization material can result in poor drying
results.
Under certain circumstances, the use of paper tray inserts can result in poor drying results.
Packaging
Only ever use packaging materials and systems (sterilization barrier systems) corresponding to the
standard DIN EN IS0 11607-1.
The correct use of suitable packaging is important in achieving successful sterilization results.
You can use re-usable rigid packaging systems such as e.g. standard tray cassettes or soft packaging
such as transparent sterilization packaging, paper bags, sterilization paper, textiles or fleece.
Closed sterilization containers
Please observe the following when using closed sterilization containers for sterilization material:
Use aluminium sterilization containers. Aluminium retains and conducts heat and thus improves
drying.
To guarantee steam penetration and vacuum drying, closed sterilization containers must be fitted with
filters or valves on at least one side (preferably above).
With heavy loads (e.g. orthopaedic instruments) on which a great deal of condensate can
develop, we recommend the use of containers with condensate drains (e.g. from
Wagner).
Wherever possible, please ensure that sterilization containers are stacked on top of those of identical
size, so that the condensate can run down their sides.
MELAG sterilization containers fulfil the requirements for successful sterilization and
drying. They have a perforated lid and are fitted with single-use paper filters.
Ensure that the perforations are not covered when stacking the containers.

Chapter 3 – Loading the steam sterilizer
19
WARNING
The use of unsuitable sterilization containers results in insufficient steam penetration and even
failure of the sterilization. This can also prevent condensate drain-off.
This produces poor drying results. This can result in unsterile instruments and thus
endanger the health of patient and practice team.
WARNING
Incorrect stacking of the sterilization containers can result in the dripping condensate being
unable to drain off to the chamber floor. This would then saturate the sterilization material directly
underneath it.
This produces poor drying results. This can result in unsterile instruments and thus
endanger the health of patient and practice team.
Do not cover the perforations when stacking the sterilization containers.
Soft sterilization packaging
Soft sterilization packaging can be used in both sterilization containers and on trays. Please observe the
following when using soft sterilization packaging e.g. MELAfol®::
Arrange soft sterilization packaging in a perpendicular position and at narrow intervals.
Do not place multiple soft sterilization packages flat on top of each other on a tray or in a container.
If the seal seam tears during sterilization, this could be caused by the choice of undersized packaging.
Should this not be the case, re-pack the instruments and sterilize them again.
Should the seam seal rip during sterilization, extend the sealing pulse on the sealing device or make a
double seam.
Multiple wrapping
The steam sterilizer works with a fractionated vacuum procedure. This permits the use of multiple
packaging.
Mixed loads
Please observe the following when using mixed loads:
Always place textiles at the top.
Place the sterilization containers at the bottom.
Place transparent sterilization packaging and paper bags at the top - except in combination with
textiles. In this case, place them at the bottom.
As far as possible, arrange transparent sterilization packaging on their edge. If this is not possible,
place them with the paper side facing downwards.
