An especially innovative feature of this steam sterilizer is the integrated software for instrument approval, labelling and traceability. Medical practices appreciate this extra safety at no extra cost. The high-performance water cooling effect of its vacuum pump establishes the Vacuklav 40 B+ Evolution as the benchmark not only for speed and operation, but also quality and reliability.                 

 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 patented DRYtelligence® technology is a unique innovation from MELAG: This intelligent drying technology 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. 2. Work efficiently The load volume of the Evolution series is an impressive 9 kg. This makes the Evolution steam sterilizers one of the most powerful in their category. To be able to ideally sterilize these large load volumes in our Evolution series, new mounts were developed, which ensure optimum use of the chamber capacity. 3. Document securely The XXL colour-touch display with a modern so-called “flat-design” allows intuitive handling at the highest level. The Evolution series also includes integrated software for documentation, approval and tracking. Directly connected to the MELAprint® 60 label printer or via a network with the documentation management system, these steam sterilizers give each practice and clinic their individually requested documentation concept. 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. 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. Start time preselection The start time preselection makes it possible to choose any program and to start at any chosen time, such as for routine test programs. MELAtrace® The documentation software MELAtrace® provides the perfect solution for practices and clinics that would like to securely document and approve their complete hygiene workflow. MELAtrace® makes it possible to connect all steps of the instrument decontamination, from cleaning and disinfection, to wrapping through to sterilization. All process steps, program protocols and the decisions related to instrument decontamination are fully documented and archived securely. Barcode labels can be printed using MELAprint® 60 in order to trace the load instruments, to easily read them using a scanner and to pass them on to the practice management software. Conductivity measurement To protect your valuable instruments, all steam sterilizers are not only fitted with especially powerful temperature sensors, but also with an integrated water quality measurement method, which warns against using insufficient water quality. Media board The new media board gives the personnel fast access to critical components, such as the pressure display of the double-jacket or the interface for technical service. MELAconnect App Instrument reprocessing can be this smart. Call up the device status and program progress at any time via the mobile app. The MELAconnect App offers you even more: user manuals, video tutorials, troubleshooting and seal check function for perfect workflow in practices and clinics. 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. Diversity in four models Since practices and clinics have different requirements for operating steam sterilizers, our Evolution series is available in four designs. The designs differ in the type of vacuum generation, water intake and chamber depth. Device design: 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. Vacuklav® 40 B+ Evolution Chamber: Depth 35 cm, ø 25 cm, volume 18 litres Order no. 10080 Device design: Stand-alone Vacuklav® 41 B+ Evolution and Vacuklav® 43 B+ Evolution: These steam sterilizers have an efficient air-cooling system, which makes them real “stand-alone” steam sterilizers. They only need to be connected to an electrical outlet for operation. But, of course, all four devices can be connected to a water treatment unit for the direct supply of demineralized water. Vacuklav® 41 B+ Evolution Chamber: Depth Tiefe 35 cm, ø 25 cm, volume 18 litres Order no. 10081 Vacuklav® 44 B+ Evolution Chamber: Depth 45 cm, ø 25 cm, volume 23 litres Order no. 10084 Vacuklav® 43 B+ Evolution Chamber: Depth 45 cm, ø 25 cm, volume 23 litres Order no. 10083 Mount F Plus for 3 MELAstore® Boxes 100 and 2 small trays Mount C Plus for 6 standard trays (turned 90°) for 3 MELAstore® Box 100 Mount D Plus for 2 MELAstore® Boxes 200 and 2 small trays Mount E Plus for 6 standard trays and 2 small trays In order to allow each practice or clinic to individually organise the instrument decontamination workflow, we offer five options for optimal loading of the steam sterilizers with wrapped or unwrapped instruments or with MELAstore® Boxes. The mounts are designed for particularly easy handling in daily operation. If even 4 MELAstore® Boxes are to be held, these can also be easily inserted into the steam sterilizer without a mount. 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
