MELAcontrol Helix

Order no. ME01082

The new MELAcontrol Helix – Reliable Routine Testing for Class B Autoclaves

The MELAcontrol Helix is a professional solution for reliable routine monitoring of Class B autoclaves. The Helix test was developed in accordance with the strict requirements of the European standard DIN EN ISO 11140 and offers a validated and compliant method for testing steam penetration in hollow instruments—a crucial factor for effective sterilization.

By simulating the most challenging load conditions within the sterilization process, the Helix delivers highly meaningful test results and ensures maximum process reliability. A clear color change from blue to pink after successful sterilization enables fast, unambiguous evaluation and supports reliable documentation.

✅ Fully compliant with ISO 11140
✅ Reliable verification of steam penetration
✅ Clear visual result for quick decision-making
✅ High process safety with minimal time investment
✅ Economical and sustainable solution for routine control

To ensure consistently high test quality, every reorder of indicator strips includes a new Helix test body. This guarantees long-term reliability in batch monitoring while minimizing administrative effort.

MELAcontrol Helix

The MELAcontrol Helix Test with 250 indicator strips is used for routine batch monitoring in your Class B autoclaves and reliably verifies the successful sterilization of hollow body instruments. It ensures effective steam penetration even under the most demanding conditions and is specifically designed for Class B sterilization processes.

The Helix test complies with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 11140. A clear color change of the indicator from blue to pink confirms successful sterilization and allows for quick, unambiguous evaluation in daily practice.

For a more sustainable and cost-effective solution, MELAcontrol Pro also offers an option with a durable reusable test body, allowing individual test strips to be reordered separately.
