The selection of a suitable program guarantees perfect sterilization results. Learn more about the program selection in our video tutorial.
The MELAG autoclaves of the Evolution series offer five programs for the sterilization of your medical devices in the medical and dental practice and clinic.
1. Universal-Program: for the sterilization of a mixed load of up to 9 kg with wrapped and unwrapped instruments.
2. Quick-Program B: For the sterilization of smaller quantities of wrapped and unwrapped instruments in record time.
3. Quick-Program S: For the sterilization of only unwrapped instruments in record time.
4. Gentle-Program: For a gentle sterilization of textiles and thermolabile goods at only 121 degrees Celsius.
5. Prion-Program: This sterilization program occupies a special position e.g. in France.
According to national guidelines, all instruments must be sterilized in the Prion-Program. Please comply with the national standards before sterilizing instruments.
