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.
