MELAG‘s decades of experience in the field of practice and large autoclaves has allowed the development of particularly innovative and energy-efficient steam sterilizers. The Premium-Class Evolution series provides unique advantages for those looking to realize the most‚ time and cost-effective workflow. Patented double-jacket technology: Record-breaking operating times of 10 – 20 minutes J88(Quick-Programs incl. pre-vacuum and drying) guarantee even faster instrument availability. Patented DRYtelligence®: The intelligent system makes for the perfect drying results whilst shortening the drying time by up to 80 %. High loading capacity: The mount for 8 trays allows efficient use of the maximum load of up to 9 kg. XXL colour-touch display: Documentation and approval is performed quickly, safely and paper-free directly on the display of the autoclave. MELAconnect App: Access the device status and program progress via the app at any time and from anywhere in the clinic. The benchmark for steam sterilizers Besides the typical MELAG features such as record operating times, intuitive operating concept, integrated documentation and approval, the steam sterilizers of the Evolution series offer a range of unique innovations, which can only be developed in this perfection by a specialist for infection control and instrument decontamination. The focus of the Evolution series is the combination of even shorter operating times and thus faster instrument availability and energy savings. 1. Save time and energy: The rapid re-availability of safely sterilized instruments and the re-use of consistently well-dried instruments is of particular importance in practices and clinics. The patented double-jacket technology is the key prerequisite for the short operating times. The Evolution series also contains the patented DRYtelligence® technology. This intelligent drying is based on a sensor-controlled drying function. A specially developed algorithm allows the drying to be automatically adapted to the individual load of the steam sterilizer. Wrapped and unwrapped instruments in a full or partial load are automatically dried through DRYtelligence® within a load-specific period of time. DRYtelligence® not only guarantees optimum drying results at any time, but also shortens the drying times by up to 80 %! The shortened drying times also mean reduced operating times and savings in energy and costs. 2. Work efficiently The load volume of the Evolution series is an impressive 9 kg. This makes the steam sterilizers one of the most powerful in their category. To be able to ideally sterilize these large load volumes in the Evolution series, new mounts were developed, which ensure optimum use of the chamber capacity. Additional tray levels (up to eight trays) increase the capacity and also enable the sterilization of individually wrapped handpieces and turbines, for example, in combination with further MELAstore® Boxes. This means: fewer sterilization cycles, less energy consumption and lower costs. For smaller quantities of wrapped instruments, the Quick-Program B offers a record operating time of only 20 minutes and unwrapped instruments can even be sterilized in just 10 minutes including drying. It is often the small tools that facilitate everyday work. The diverse options of the Evolution series helps to make work processes simpler, safer and more comfortable. 3. Document securely The XXL colour-touch screen display with a modern so-called “flat-design” enables intuitive operation and thereby helps to avoid errors and to find all important information quickly. The standard integrated documentation and approval software allows for complete reproducibility and complete safety. All users can be equipped with an individual PIN for secure traceability of the batch approval. The documentation and approval process is authenticated fast and securely on the display. The Evolution series offers many more possibilities for documentation – starting with the network integration via the Ethernet interface, to the printout of barcode labels for the marking of wrapped instruments, through to the output of the log files to the CF card. The Evolution series in combination with MELAdem® Save time and money that you would require when purchasing, transporting, storing and filling demineralized water in your steam sterilizers and instead, connect your Evolution series to a water treatment unit. If there is a water supply and water drain near the steam sterilizer, you not only automate the filling and dosing, but also the drainage of the used water. From the small practical MELAdem® 40 to the highly economical and environmentally friendly reverse osmosis system MELAdem® 47, through to the highperformance system MELAdem® 53 (for simultaneous connection of washer-disinfectors), we offer the right solution for every desired application. The MELAG system solution The use of ideally compatible products from our system solution saves time and costs right from the beginning due to a better workflow of the instrument decontamination process. Another practical benefit of the system solution is especially in the saving of service costs. If the steam sterilizer, the washer-disinfector, the sealing device and the water treatment unit are provided by the same manufacturer, the appointments with technicians for maintenance and validation can be synchronised and thus planned in a cost efficient and time saving manner. Complete documentation of the entire instrument decontamination process, including the load management, approval and tracking with the MELAtrace® documentation software is another important advantage. Easy to use in app design and with a touch interface, MELAtrace® offers an additional invaluable cost advantage. Instead of several individual licences, only one licence needs to be purchased and there are no annual recurring costs. Tap-water connection Vacuklav® 40 B+ Evolution and Vacuklav® 44 B+ Evolution: These steam sterilizers have a fixed water connection and, through the innovative water cooling of the vacuum pump, they represent the ultimate benchmark not only in terms of operating times and handling, but also for quality and reliability
