Safety Instructions
When using the MELAtherm10 accessories, please ensure that you observe the following safety
instructions as well as those outlined in the following chapters.
Instruments/accessories
For your own safety and to avoid injuries when loading the instrument and washing baskets,
always wear gloves or other suitable hand protection.
Use only those instruments designed by their manufacturer for automatic treatment in a washer-
disinfector. Please ensure that you observe the information provided by the instrument
manufacturers ISO 17664. It is especially important to observe the manufacturer's information
when treating newly purchased instruments for the first time.
Use original accessories from MELAG. We cannot provide a guarantee for non-MELAG
accessories, even if they are in possession of validation.
When using additional accessories from other manufacturers to secure instruments, especially
hollow-bodied instruments, it is necessary to observe the information contained in the
manufacturer's operating manual.
If using accessories from other manufacturers, above all hoses, please ensure that they are heat-
resistant up to 95 °C. This applies above all to hoses.
Use only those process agents approved by MELAG. Observe the operating and safety
information from the process agent manufacturer. MELAG does not accept any liability for the use
of any process agents not approved by MELAG.
Take care when arranging sharp and pointed instruments and do so in a manner that prevents all
danger of injury. Loading should best be performed from back to front. Wear suitable protective
gloves.
Comply with pre-determined loading patterns established within the scope of the validation
procedure.
Load
Ensure the correct arrangement of the instruments. Avoid spray shadow and repeated stacking of
the instruments.
Storage
Store all accessories in a dry atmosphere protected from corrosive objects or media.
Disposal
Should accessories present signs of wear (e.g. friction, cracks or other wear) which prevent
further use, these must be disposed of in a professional manner.

General instructions for preparation and treatment
6
General instructions for preparation and
treatment
1 Hollow-bodied instruments
1.1 The automatic treatment process for hollow-bodied instruments requires these to be secured on
the injector rails via an adaptor or a further connector element.
1.2 Dry the hollow body articles with medical compressed air after treatment in order to remove any
residual moisture. Please observe all relevant national specifications.
1.3 Before program start, check the instruments for a secure position on the adapters, the hose
connections or the injector nozzles. The instruments must not be able to become detached
during the program run. If this happens, they require further treatment in the washer disinfector.
1.4 When using the basis basket in conjunction with an injector rail, please ensure that you always
push the basis basket against the rear wall of the chamber to the fullest extent, so that the
injector rail locks on to the connection fitting on the inner wall of the washing chamber.
1.5 Observe the treatment instructions provided in the user manual of the washer-disinfector
regarding transfer instruments and ophthalmological instruments.
1.6 The operator is responsible for validating the procedure in combination with special load
accessories Especial attention is to be accorded to the feed line to the hollow-bodied
instruments.
1.7 Hollow-bodied instruments must be processed in the Universal-Program, Intensive-Program or
the Ophthalmo-Program. The Quick-Program is not approved for treatment, since contamination
inside cannot be assessed.
1.8 Treat only those hollow-bodied instruments which guarantee sufficient and reproducible rinsing.
Before treatment, check the hollow-bodied instruments for passage by rinsing them with water
of a minimum quality equal to drinking water.
2 Injector rails and distributor
2.1 Sufficiently high rinse pressure is important for the cleaning. To ensure this, all unused
apertures on the injector rail/the distributor must be sealed with a sealing screw or with
accessories.
3 Adapters for transfer instruments
3.1 The cleaning and disinfection of hand pieces in the MELAtherm 10 must be undertaken in the
Universal-Program or the Intensive-Program.
3.2 Please note that leading manufacturers of transfer instruments recommend drying the
spray/air/water channels immediately after treatment using medical compressed air. In doing so,
it is necessary to maintain the patency of the channels.
3.3 This must then be followed by maintenance using maintenance and care products/oils approved
by the instrument manufacturer.

Optimizing the cleaning performance and value-retention of the instruments
7
Optimizing the cleaning performance and
value-retention of the instruments
The following important treatment instructions ensure that your washer-disinfector achieves the best
possible cleaning performance and ensures the value-retention of your instruments. Further information is
to be found in the brochure "Instrument Reprocessing" from the Arbeitskreis Instrumentenaufbereitung AKI
(download from www.a-k-i.org) or from your instrument manufacturer.
1 Wet/dry storage
1.1 Wettened instruments should be stored dry. Ensure that they are stored protected from light and
heat. Keep the period of storage as short as possible.
1.2 Instruments which present organic residue (e.g. blood) after patient treatment could benefit from
pre-soaking in a suitable treatment solution. Please ensure the correct process agent chosen
for prior soaking is compatible with the washer-disinfector process agents. Otherwise, we
recommend dry storage.
1.3 If pre-soaking is to be performed, the instruments must be rinsed thoroughly with running water
before insertion in the washer-disinfector (WD) to prevent the solution from entering the device.
1.4 Instruments may not be soaked overnight in water. Storage in demineralized/distilled water is
also associated with negative effects connected with treatment residue (blood etc.).
2 Preparation and pre-cleaning
2.1 If instruments are to be subject to manual preparation for cleaning, please ensure that no media
or tools/resources are deployed which could damage the surface of the instruments. Never use
any aggressive cleaning fluids, wire brushes or metal scourers. Information regarding correct
instrument treatment is available from your instrument manufacturer.
2.2 Insoluble treatment substances (e.g. dental cement, root canal disinfectants, alginates, silicon
etc.) must be cleaned manually directly after use. Consult the product data sheets of the
treatment substances.
2.3 Other substances can also necessitate manual pre-cleaning. These include ultrasound gels and
other auxiliary substances.
2.4 Hollow body articles (transfer instruments, cannulas etc.) are to be checked for passage. Please
observe the specialist information in the user manual.
2.5 Instruments must be dismantled for treatment in accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications.
2.6 Corroded Instruments must be separated. Crusted instruments must be subject to a basic
cleaning/servicing.
3 Loading instructions
3.1 Generally, ensure that the pattern of loading does not cause any spray shadow. When using
wash trays from other manufacturers, ensure that their design (large-scale covered areas) do
not generate spray shadow.
3.2 Instruments with non-dismountable joints or closable instruments (e.g. tweezers) must be open
for treatment.
3.3 Easily scratched instruments (e.g. dental mirrors) must be inserted separately with sufficient
clearance between the objects. Preparation in a wash tray can cause damage e.g. to the mirror
surface.
3.4 When using sieve cassettes, ensure that instruments are separated and do not drop masse to
the bottom. "Loose material" should be avoided as a matter of course. To do so, you can use
the dividing inserts from the MELAG accessories range.
3.5 Treat only those instruments in the washer-disinfector which have been expressly authorized for
this purpose by the manufacturer. As a rule, these instruments are marked with this symbol,
either directly or in the treatment instructions.
3.6 If required, order the treatment instructions from the respective manufacturer in accordance with
EN ISO 17664.

Optimizing the cleaning performance and value-retention of the instruments

3.7 Comply with the treatment instructions provided by the instrument manufacturer, especially
those pertaining to computability with process agents.
3.8 Do not treat any disposable instruments. Disposable instruments are usually marked with this
symbol:
3.9 Observe the information provided in the user manual regarding special instruments (dental
transfer instruments, ophthalmological instruments, instruments with interior lumen).
3.10 If you use non-MELAG accessories to treat instruments in the device, ensure that the
compatibility of the accessories with the device and instruments.
4 Routine controls
4.1 Check the filters (e.g. in the adapters for transfer instruments) and sieves (coarse and fine filter)
regularly and clean/replace where necessary.
4.2 Perform the routine controls in accordance with the user manual. The coarse and fine filters
should be checked for soiling and cleaned where necessary.
5 Selecting suitable programs
5.1 Normal up to strongly soiled instruments: Universal-Program.
Use the Intensive-Program if the Universal-Program does not provide sufficient cleaning power.
5.2 Particularly heavily soiled instruments: Intensive-Program.
5.3 Un-soiled or only lightly-soiled instruments Quick-Program.
Unsuitable for the treatment of hollow-bodied instruments!
5.4 Ophthalmologic instruments: Ophthalmo-program. DI water required!
6 Process agents
6.1 In order to avoid cleaning problems, we have specified the use of process agents adapted to
each other. These were set on the machine during installation. Information regarding the
product settings is to be found in the installation record or on the container labels.
7 General Guidelines
7.1 Please note that no common household agents developed for use with a dishwasher cleaner,
aroma tabs etc. or indeed any other form of household agents - aluminium foil to prevent the
development of stains, vinegar, soda etc. - are used in the cleaning and disinfection device for
any purpose whatsoever. These substances impair the treatment process and can cause
damage to both the device and the instruments being treated. When metered correctly, the
process agents specified for the washer-disinfector achieve the best possible cleaning effects
and render superfluous the use of additional agents.
7.2 Ensure that the coarse and fine sieves are inserted before removing the rinse arms. This
prevents the entry of particles of dirt or rinse arms fastening parts into the pump pit.
7.3 Before the coarse and fine filters can be removed for cleaning, it is necessary to check for the
presence of any small particles in the filter. These must be removed before the sieve can be
removed so that they do not enter the device interior (observe the risk of injury).
7.4 After filling with regenerating salt, a short rinsing program should be started to remove any
residual salt from the washing chamber.
7.5 Avoid long stand times after the rinse-program.
7.6 The metering hose should be de-aerated with water before longer pauses (>2 weeks). Please
read and observe the information regarding these steps contained in the cleaning and
disinfection device user manual.

Principles of the load configuration
9
Principles of the load configuration
The 6 segment principle
All accessories are placed in the basis basket with or without an injector rail. The surface of the basis
basket is divided into six segments to ensure the optimal use of space.
The size of all insert racks, instrument baskets, washing baskets and flex baskets correspond to one or
more segments of the basis basket. To this end, the next pages provide one of the following diagrams for
each accessory.

Principles of the load configuration
10
The Flex System
The so-called Flex System was developed on the basis of the 6 segment principle. The flex system
consists of instrument baskets of various sizes. The flex baskets can be subject to variable combinations
and stacked. This system ensures the optimal use of space in the washing chamber of the washer-
disinfector.
Flex baskets may be stacked in max. 2 levels. Attachments for stackable flex baskets can also be used.
WARNING
Stacking more than two baskets on each other in the washing chamber increases the risk of spray
shadow.
Stack no more than a max. of two Flex baskets.

Using the injector rail with central filter
PLEASE NOTE
Observe the following before commissioning the injector rail with the central filter:
Remove the central filter before placing adapters on the injector rail.
Seal empty connections on the injector rail with sealing screws or fit with instruments.
WARNING
Danger of contamination from soiling on the new central filter. Only use clean central
filters.
Rinse brand new central filters thoroughly under running water. Alternatively, the central filter
can be cleaned using an empty batch in a Rinse-Program.
Inserting and removing the central filter
WARNING
Danger of contamination by a damaged central filter. The central filter can suffer damage
through incorrect insertion. Filtered particles can work loose and penetrate the
instruments.
Check the central filter for damage before inserting it.
Screw on the central filter to the injector rail to its fullest extent.
Inserting: Introduce the central filter in the injector rail
and tighten the central filter hand-tight clockwise
(Fig. 2).
The central filter has been inserted correctly when the
grip is flush with the injector rail.
Removing: Screw out the central filter counter
clockwise and pull it out of the injector rail.
Application advice for the central filter is available on
page 58.
Fig. 2: Inserting and removing the central filter
PLEASE NOTE
Please note the following about the period of use of the central filter:
The period of use of the central filter depends on its frequency of use, the loading of the injector
rail, the water quality and the degree of soiling of the instruments to be treated. As a result, the
period of use can vary strongly. For this reason we cannot recommend an average interval for
changing the central filter.
Ageing processes mean that the central filter must be changed at least a year after its use, even
if the control display indicates sufficient rinse pressure.
You can extend the use time of the central filter by taking into account the following when
loading the injector rail:
Always ensure that the adapters are either fitted with instruments or seal non-used
connections. This affects a higher rinse pressure and reduces the water flow through the
central filter.
Reduce the number of connections on the injector rail: The lower the number of connections,
the longer the use duration of the central filter.
Avoid using instruments which do not require filtration. Their high water flow reduces the rinse
pressure and thus the use time of the central filter. Universal dental aspirator tips (saliva
aspirator ≥ 16 mm) can be treated in the instrument baskets in a standing position. The distal
end should point upwards. This must be considered separately during validation.

14
Fitting the injector rail with adapters
WARNING
Danger of contamination from reduced filtration and cleaning performance. Screwing on
accessories too deeply can damage the central filter or impede the water flow in the
instrument.
Remove the central filter before placing adapters on the injector rail.
Check the thread lengths with the thread length meter.
Use flat washers for adapters with a thread length > 4 mm.
1. Remove the central filter.
2. With adapters with a thread length of > 4 mm add as
many flat washers until the thread protrudes by
max. 4 mm (Fig. 3).
3. Screw the connections and the adapters into the
injector rail. Seal non-used connections with sealing
screws.
4. Insert the central filter in the injector rail.
5. Should the central filter becomes difficult to slide in or
becomes blocked, use further flat washers.
Please note that under certain circumstances; even
original MELAG accessories can have a thread length
greater than 4 mm.
Fig. 3: Thread lengths of the adapter
Checking the control display
The integrated control display of the injector rail triggers once a minimum rinse pressure has been
reached.
The rinse pressure achieved depends on the state of the central filter and the fitting of the
Injector rail.
WARNING
Danger of contamination from reduced filtration and cleaning performance. Use the
control display to check whether the central filter is functioning correctly.
Activate the control display before every program run.
Check the control display after every program run.
Activating the control display:
1. Press the pin of the control display into the
injector rail so that it returns to its starting
position.

2. Start a disinfection program.
3. After the program run, check whether the
control display has triggered.
4. If the pin does protrude from the control
display after the program run the central
filter can be used further.
Fig. 5: State of the central filter without fault
5. If the pin does not protrude from the control
display after the program run, check
whether all connections on the injector rail
are sealed with sealing screws or
instruments.
6. If the injector rail was correctly sealed and
the control display has still not triggered,
change the central filter.
Fig. 6: The central filter must be replaced
If the control display has not triggered the first time and the injector rail has been correctly fitted with
instruments/seals, a safety extra allows this program run can be qualified as a success.
Malfunctions and their remedy
Perform all the following measures before contacting the service department.
Malfunctions
Remedy
A new central filter is inserted but
the pin does not spring out of the
control display.
1. Check whether the central filter has been fitted correctly.
2. Check the loading of the injector rail. Seal non-used
connections with sealing screws.
3. Contact the service department if the steps above do not
lead to remedy.
If the pin does not allow itself to be
depressed in the control display.
Contact the service department.

Intended use
The instrument basket facilitates the treatment of standing instruments e.g. tweezers, probes, mirrors,
scissors, clamps, nasal specula etc. cannot be stacked.
Application
The instrument basket is placed in the basis basket.
The instruments are placed in the instrument basket with their grip ends facing downwards. For
instruments with two working ends, we recommend the use of a needle tip plate (order no. 00186).
Heavy soiling on the instruments (e.g. dental cement or similar) should be removed from the instrument
directly after its use. Any encrusted residue should first be removed in an ultrasound bath.
Dental aspirator tips should be fixed to clamp springs on the injector nozzles as a matter of course.
Standing treatment in an instrument basket requires validation from the operator in order to ensure
cleaning effectiveness. The distal end should point upwards.
DANGER
Danger of injury by sharp or pointed instruments.
Wear suitable hand protection.
PLEASE NOTE
Use only those instruments designed by their manufacturer for automatic treatment in a washer-
disinfector. Please ensure that you observe the information provided by the instrument
manufacturers.
Insert all mirrors and other sensitive instruments in the instrument basket in such a fashion so that
they do not cover each other or become damaged by banging into other instruments.
