Euroklav® 23V-S / 23-S / 29V-S / 29-S


With its Europa autoclaves in its "Euroklav®" -family, MELAG offers an even more cost-effective alternative to the "Vacuklav®" -series. The "Euroklav®" -devices conform to Class S of the European Standard, and are designed for applications in doctors‘ practices in which the instruments used and the types of instrument wrapping do not require Class B autoclaves. We can confirm that the designation “Class S” is correct for the Euroklav® autoclaves: we have conducted extensive testing to prove this classification, according to the strict stipulations set forth in the future European Standard prEN 13060/4. This verification testing was not conducted by just any engineering office, but by the following autonomous and state-accredited testing point: Testing and Certification Office for Medicinal Products of the Technical University in Berlin (Prüf- und Zertifizierstelle für Medizinprodukte der Technischen Universität Berlin).

These accreditation procedures have verified that MELAG "Euroklav®" -autoclaves conform to the strict requirements of European Standard prEN 13060. We would be glad to send you the test report for the particular MELAG device in which you are interested. If you are alternatively interested in the autoclave products of other manufacturers, we urgently advise you to ask them for their test reports as well. Be sure that the test reports which they furnish are also provided by an accredited testing office. Then, in the event that you are involved in litigation, you can in any case (whether with our devices, or from another manufacturer) provide forensically valid evidence to ensure that you can prove that you have used a fully qualified Class S autoclave. It would be very unfortunate if you were called to court and if the court-appointed expert came to the result that the manufacturer of your autoclave had indeed given your device a Class S designation, but that in actual fact the technical characteristics of the autoclave did not in fact qualify it as a "Class S"-machine. The result could be inferior sterilization quality, and loss of the case in court.

An innovative microprocessor control system performs closed-loop control and monitoring of the sterilization process in MELAG "Euroklav
®"-autoclaves. "Euroklav®" -autoclaves can be easily connected to the MELAG MELAdem®37 and MELAdem®47 water-treatment systems for automatic supply of high-quality water.  In such configurations, a conductivity measuring unit for checking water quality (conductivity sensor) which is integrated in the autoclaves will check the quality of the water supplied. The "Euroklav®" -devices have a serial interface for connection to the MELAprint®42 dot matrix printer, or to a computer in the doctor’s practice, provides documentation of the success or failure of the sterilization process.
